Well the kernel has that already, but I think ld writes each section in
the binary in a differant write and so thats 19 in a single ELF binary I
have here, and it's only 4963 bytes long (That's AFAIK tho).
Oh, that option could be a compile time option of ld, it basically has the
effect of coalescing (sp?) the writes,

Hmm, I would have thought that this was a bad idea, unless you have loads
of memory (remember he is also activly swaping over nfs too, so I think
this is out).
