+The linker normally optimizes for speed over memory usage by caching
+the symbol tables of input files in memory.  This option tells the
+linker to instead optimize for memory usage, by rereading the symbol
+tables as necessary.  This may be required if the linker runs out of
+memory space while linking a large executable.
