Brilliant plan!
It requires a switch over for the *obj* variables to source files -
should we do that for all of them as a first step?

Also, what should we call them? This is a brilliant opportunity to
rename them - we have:
initobj (rename to romstage-src?)
obj     (rename to ramstage-src?)
driver  (rename to driver-src?)
smmobj  (rename to smm-src?)

After that is done and settled, the romcc part of the build system could
be adapted to work the way you lined out.

So avoid issues with incorrect #include-order, the files should, in
romcc mode, include their dependencies and guard against multiple
inclusions.

This optimization could come afterwards - you're thinking of -combine,
right? That should also speed up the build on mingw (where process
creation is relatively slow)
