This raises the concern that precompiled units become obsolete when

requires that the System unit of the precompiled unit and of the using
program are IDENTICAL (which is enforced by the somewhat weaker check
of comparing their checksums; but in practice that will have the same
effect).
The checksum is only calculated on the interface (i.e. all exported
symbols), it's not a generic binary checksum of the entire unit.
