Meanwhile, out here in the real world, are there any linkers currently
used by any C compilers that do not support identifiers of at least 31
characters as required by N1570 5.2.4.1?
No doubt a conforming C99 or C11 compiler *could* be made to work with a
more limited linker, but as far as I know there's simply no need to
worry about it.
As usual, I expect you'll go off on yet another tangent and ignore any
direct questions.
