-r is actually a linker option. ld -r is "relink object files into a
relocatable file" and is usually used to merge object files together in
a bigger .o, as an alternative to creating a static library and to cut
down memory use when linking big projects.
I have patched some recipes to use an ar archive instead of a relinked
.o, but that doesn't always work, and fixing the compiler is a better
solution.
