I'm afraid I've not gone through your detailed suggestions, but in the
short term, would a crude hack that I used to use with Algol68C help?
For that I forced the compiler to output interface files to somewhere
temporary and then used diff on them to see if there were any
substantive differences. If there were none, (and compilations
referring to them would therefore behave no differently) I would not
copy the temporary version into the real place. All in a wrapper
script around the compiler, of course.
