Comment (by carter):

 is there some way we could do a hack to do split DLLs and allow cycles?
 (would probably mean some sort of indirect  jump penalty in one direction
 of the cycle).

 One extreme would be to use some sort of graph clustering software tool
 like METIS http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/metis/metis/overview

 do .hi files have enough information to sort out the directed graph of
 imports exports? I'd be happy to help do some graph clustering
 experimentation on the object files (that piece isn't windows specific, so
 i could hack it out on my current machine)
