For reducing binary size. Also to remove (or greatly mitigate)
the side-effect of using "unity" builds. Similar to
-Wl,--gc-sectionson non-Apple platforms.
For example with curl-for-win builds, macOS arm+intel:
curl (unity): 7.7MB -> 6.8MB
libcurl.dylib (unity): 7.2MB -> 6.4MB
trurl /w static libcurl (!unity): 535KB -> 251KB (same size with unity)
