My proposal was more that, if it "WORKSFORUS", then I wouldn't bother
hacking on the build.  Build hacking is unpleasant and I am somewhat
motivated to avoid it.

Anyhow, I'm testing a patch for this case.  And, this will make it a
bit simpler to split other objects should it be needed.

Aren't you here solving the wrong problem? The problem that is caused by the real problem? If it takes about 30 to 40min to build this html/parser.o and gnu-xml.o needs about 1 or 2 minutes but is - last time I took a look - a lot bigger than the html parser, shouldn't then be investigated why this html parser is such a hard thing? Otherwise there might just come another object after some changes with the same problem...
