All existing compilers AFAIK. There is no point in discussing 
theoretical advanced enough compiler when considering actions 
done right now.

Good compiler should be able to work as caching daemon and never 
need separate object files at all. So we should completely ban it 
by that logic.

In practice creating library per package is decent compromise 
that works good right now, even if it is consistently imperfect.
