I think the reason for holding onto the old code was mainly fear of hitting command-line length limits in the link step. Since that still hasn't happened 10 years later, even on the oldest buildfarm critters, it seems moot. We'd probably just decide to desupport any platform where that did happen in future. regards, tom lane
