i actually like the other approach better... in my current project (which is 
an "OS" of some sort), i generate an "import library" from all symbols in the 
kernel, which i then link against all applications (modules). this way 
applications can loaded anywhere into memory, not only to a fixed place....

apropos, it would be very nice - and trivial to add - if the linker could 
create such an import library :) (i'll write up a proposal with details when 
i have some more time...)

but ofcourse, each way has its uses :)
