Splitting the file might be possible, I'd have to ask upstream. I
don't think stalin's relying on cross-function optimizations to
guarantee Scheme semantics (for example, the guarantee of "no stack
growth for tail-recursive calls"), but I'd have to check to be sure.
One thing that does need fixing is that it should be emitting static
functions rather than global functions so that it won't overflow the
linker on the alpha.
