And the reason I said that is because Hans-Peter's wants to move it inside the compiler so that making ppudump depend on the code generator would no longer break the build. The basic problem is that his rewrite made ppudump dependent on the code generator, not that ppudump's independence of the code generator is enforced by the build system.
Could it not be the other way around?
That, it turned out that ppudump wasn't as independent as had been thought?


The compiler doesn't think, it just gives an error when a unit is not found.

Hans-Peter tried putting global variables from all over the compiler into a single unit, so it's logical that this makes everything dependent on everything (because that single globals unit has to import type definitions from all over the compiler).
