I think you better forgo opportunities to give second-hand info
about things like this to INFO-VAX. Certainly one would use the
same system linker with object files produced by the C compiler
as with files produced by any other compiler; however the properties
of this linker which you describe, not allowing underscore "_"
in symbol names and a severe limitation on symbol length,
are not apparent when used with other languages such as FORTRAN and BLISS,
so it would be extremely suprising to find such limitation introduced
in relationship to dealing with an object file produced by a C compiler.
