A crunched binary is a program made up of many other programs linked
together into a single executable. The crunched binary main()
together into a single executable.
The crunched binary
.Fn main
function determines which component program to run by the contents of
argv[0]. The main reason to crunch programs together is for fitting
as many programs as possible onto an installation or system recovery
floppy.

.Sh BUGS
While
.Nm
takes care to eliminate link conflicts between the component programs
of a crunched binary, conflicts are still possible between the
libraries that are linked in. Some shuffling in the order of
libraries that are linked in.
Some shuffling in the order of
libraries may be required, and in some rare cases two libraries may
have an unresolvable conflict and thus cannot be crunched together.
.Pp
Some versions of the
.Bx
build environment do not by default build the
intermediate object file for single-source file programs. The ``make
objs'' target must then be used to get those object files built, or
intermediate object file for single-source file programs.
The
.Dq make objs
target must then be used to get those object files built, or
some other arrangements made.

no objects, other directories are not searched. This causes the
