Yeah. Recompile and reachive with a different name. Archives were
not meant to be diddled with. You're either On the Bus or Off the Bus.

So what happens when you try to call `foobarsub'? Perhaps the
loader (or compiler) will truncate to the same length. If not,
try using `foobarsu'. A #define may help make global changes.

Foobarsu? The new Japanese car for programmers :-) ?!?
