What's the purpose of globbing all the objects together into freespace.o?
Just curious, as a part of our build system, it seems a little unnecessary.

I'm currently developing on a system with pretty slow I/O, and it seems this step could be omitted by passing the linker all the files directly.

You could try building it in a tmpfs.

Wondering if, since no one commented, no one knows anymore, or it's not actually necessary.
