H98 has nothing to say about the separate compilation; it's an issue for
the implementation.  GHC does separate compilation for Haskell, and
always has done.  It requires the programmer to supply an auxiliary
hi-boot file for one module in each mutually recursive group (and, of
course, none if there is no recursion between modules).
