We prefer to build most of the core without -findirect-dispatch,
because it yields better performance. This means that all the direct
dependencies must be compiled and linked in.
Of course we could try to change this. But, then we'd need a special
mode for this kind of build (I think) and we wouldn't really be
testing things the same way that users build them.
