I have noticed that the linking process of bigger programs (e.g. a C++
program with debug info) is very slow when delayed-write disk cache is
disabled (as I do because of safety reasons).

After a look at the specs I suspect this is because gcc calls stubify
after ld created the COFF image. Is this true ?

If yes, would it be much work to add the functionality
of stubify to ld if the output file ends in '.exe',
thereby saving a write and read of the image ?
