The overhead of starting a clean Emacs is ~0.6s on a P200, and a
fraction of the typical compilation time for a file as far as I can
tell.

It's clear it masks errors, at least.  I've fixed many in Gnus and
W3/url in particular that showed up when not compiling everything
together.

I don't think it's a compiler problem if required files mask missing
functions.

I guess this is moot as long as compiler warnings are ignored as
widely as they appear to be :-(.
