Build all at once or…

[Russel Winder]

There seems a dichotomy between "explicitly compile each d file (aka
module) and then link" versus "compile all the files (aka modules) at
once" especially since the objects for each file/module are created in
both cases.

I am assuming there are also some DMD/GDC/LDC2 differences as well.

Currently Dub is "compile all source at once" and SCons is "compile each
file individually and then link" (though I am currently using SCons in a
"compile all source at once" as an experiment to see what needs to
happen to the SCons D build support.

Is there some critical feature which means that "compile all source at
once" is a better route?
