There's nothing actually to stop you from withholding the source. Just
make two copies of the .d file - one with implementations, and one
without. Compile the one with, to make the library object file, and
distribute the one without.

Changing /any/ source file should require all dependent source file to
be recompiled. That's why we have makefiles and other build systems.
