I think that this would mean having essentially one file per package, which in turns would add a lot of I/O overhead. More importantly, the problems we are facing here have nothing to do with circular dependencies. The main issue remains <http://bugs.gnu.org/15602>. The next issue would be multi-threaded compilation, which I think may be fragile due to unsynchronized accesses to module objects and obarrays, as discussed in this thread. WDYT? I would be happy to see more eyeballs looking into it! :-) Ludo’.
