I agree that patching the binary files seems REALLY dubious to me.  Just pick
names __ML_1, ... and everything should be fine.
The fact that the linker doesn't have the capability to link some .o files
together and then hide (and also rename) entries is a real pain, but doesn't
look like it is going to be fixed (despite the fact that the implementation is
trivial.
