Generally, stuff in module SYSTEM isn't really "there", in the sense
that stuff in, e.g., Strings is. SYSTEM is a pseudo-module whose functions
are normally implemented directly by the compiler. Thus, either there is
nothing to link in, or the linkage decision is made differently than you
would expect.
