Your clarification to one of the points
* Try to prevent that the files are built if they aren't needed on a
platform. Valid excuses to this rule include ELIDE constructs that
lead to an empty .o file (see getopt module).
made me recall a system that couldn't handle empty .o files. All *.c
files must declare at least one symbol, or the resulting *.o file was
regarded as corrupt when you tried to link it. I saw this only a few
months ago, and I don't normally use historic machines (although
sometimes non-mainstream ones) so it may be relevant. I'll see if I
can find out what machine this was.
