As John told you, gnucash uses loadable modules.

Back in my working days, the systems I maintained had some very large 
static modules (gigantic by the experience of most programmers here). 
One of the things I did over those years is to make all of those 
"pseudo-static" << the first time a module was needed, dynamic call but 
then the address where loaded to saved, and subsequent calls static to 
that address; assembler stuff.
That meant just as fast running as if static calls BUT a module could be 
changed without needing to link-edit the entire program. Until all but a 
reserved amount of memory left and then any additional modules called 
dynamic. >>

There should be need for those sort of tricks now. Our little computers 
are faster than the big mainframes of several decades ago.
