Thanks, that saves me a bit of binary size.

And, more importantly, this pointed me into the right direction;
turned out most of the sudden binary size increase was because 
my -fno-exceptions CPPFLAG was not correctly passed to the convenience 
libraries, so all is fine again after I fixed that.

With the correct flags, the actual difference between subdir-objects and 
convenience libraries turned out to be only only a few K's binary size, but 
still, since it's for a small system, I'm using subdir-objects now.

Thanks again.
