I'm yet to give your text and patch a closer look, but at a first
overview, it doesn't seem to be very friendly to preprocessed files,
which GCC has been more and more commonly fed by people who use ccache
and distcc. Is there any effort in the direction of improving compile
performance in the ccache+distcc scenario, by say recognizing
fragments (as you call them) from header files even when they're
encountered in a previously-preprocessed file?
