Ok.  I sent a bug report to GCC anyway.  I think the behaviour in
contra-intuitive, and I didn't see anything in the documentation. 

The `problem' is in GCC 2.91 to 3.0, so maybe it's a `feature'.

It's odd, 'cause I usually do 

  cvs update -A -P -d 

to purge as much as possible.  It's probably because the object files
was still lying around.

I don't think so, 'cause I'm not sure it's portable.
