There is if you have big macros. The source of the macro code is stored in import libraries. If you compile with scrutiny, it'll also warn you if something's wrong in the macro's code itself, I think. Not sure if that happens when compiling the main library. For consistency and cargo culting reasons I always just compile my import libs.
