The ^_S markers in the DOC file shows the file from where the following 
doc-strings came from.  They where introduced on April 7, (revision 1.57 of 
lib-src/make-docfile.c), presumably to support the link when a 
function/variable is "defined in C source file".

The patch has been somewhat updated since I posted it last, so I add it again. 
  Here what it does:

1. When temacs is linked, output the object file names used to link it to 
buildobj.lst.
2. A new variable Vbuild_files is declared in doc.c, initialize to nil.
3. When temacs is run, Snarf_documentation checks if Vbuild_files is nil, and 
if it is, reads buildobj.lst and inserts the file names into Vbuild_files as a 
list.
4. When looking for pointers to doc strings, Snarf_documentation skips strings 
that belongs to a file not in Vbuild_list.
5. The function in help-fns.el that finds C files also skips files not in 
build-files.

The patch still does not work on W32/msdos, because from what I understand the 
file names in DOC for those platforms are the .c files, not the .o files.  Plus 
the fact that the buildobj.lst file would contain .obj extensions instead of .o.
