That is how it's already supposed to work. Due to reworking in the related
parts of the compiler that doesn't work correctly anymore and needs to be
fixed.

It seems, that if I make any change in a unit file, even if it is just a
comment, then the change
triggers a recompile of all dependent units. In theory, only a relevant
change of the interface ABI
of a unit would need to trigger a recompile of dependent units. Has this
ever been considered (or
even implemented) ?
I'm stuck on a compiler version from 2023 because of this. There were
changes recently that caused a regression in performance but are they
going to be fixed? Last time I tried to use a new version from 12 months
ago already.
We are still working on it. If you follow what happens on gitlab you'll see
that extra tests are being added for just this work.
It's not easy, as it means reworking a 25 year old, very fragile, architecture.
Michael.
