Is the internal linker used for the go32v2 target too? Or does this target rely on ld.exe?

Btw: It's annoying that go32v2 executables become so much larger than in FPC 1.x. Why do stripped EXEs still contain strings from "$undefined" to "TResourceManager"? That are >12,500 bytes. "Hello world" in ~124K seems quite heavy anyway.
