Actually, I think I misunderstood what you said before.  Anyway, with 
the example you cite, any modern IDE would notice that A.h had changed 
and recompile A.c.  I have no idea what would happen if you forced it to 
link against the old version, but probably the crashes you mentioned.

However, I really have to question the validity of your grief... after 
all, explicitly linking against an out of date binary is bound to cause 
trouble for you no matter what.
