You can also use separate compilation to achieve the same effect.

Technically you can but separate compilation like that is very effort consuming to add to any non-trivial build system (if it doesn't support separate compilation from the very beginning). In our use case there is in-house makefile framework that handles most of low level details automatically and circumventing that is considerably more effort than just overriding DFLAGS in whole makefile.

On the other hand, is there any reason why it is a bad idea (apart from general "minimize additions" concern)?

Ah, I haven't thought of that.

Unfortunately it would be time consuming for us to transfer to using separate compilation, whereas the implementation for this is very little code.

Would you be against adding support for this only in D1? We can provide the implementation, of course.

That's the only concern.

Not at all. You're the only D1 customer, so what you need is the only thing that matters.

Sounds good!
