I tried it, but our build system makes it a mess because 
compile-once-only can only be done using what once were static 
libraries.  All files from there are added blindly:

    obj-y += $(addprefix ../, $(common-obj-y))
    obj-y += $(addprefix ../libdis/, $(libdis-y))
    obj-y += $(libobj-y)
    obj-y += $(addprefix $(HWDIR)/, $(hw-obj-y))

I'll try something.
