There were a few messages in which my use of the term "compiler" was
misunderstood.  The word "compiler" is compiler, linker, loader, etc.
I make no distinction.  In the future, I probably should refer to the
group as a "language processor".  To make my previous point clearer:
a language processor can inline anything, that is, it can remove all
procedure calls from a single executed entity.  In the case of dynamic
linking, this may be a little more difficult and time consuming.
Since most linkers are static (why? why? why?), the previous argument is
valid.

Sorry for the confusion, I will try to be more clear in the future.
