If you really want to prevent relying on implementation defined behaviour,
which is what you are doing, there is a rather easy (relatively speaking)
way around the problem...

1. Take all your source code and preprocess it.
2. Concatenate all the preprocessed code together.
3. And compile that directly into a single object file that is the
application.

And it has the benefit that you are no longer limited by the comman line
limitations any more.
