I agree with Sam -- breaking dependencies on purpose is beyond me.
I really don't understand why changing a prototype should not result
in recompiling things depending on that header file and I really fail
to see why you deliberately want compilation to fail from time to
time. After all, CVS emacs evolves daily with many people involved --
and having broken dependencies causing strange behaviour is simply a
waste of everybody's time.
And I don't see why you think lisp.h changes very often. If we ignore
the recent changes by Stefan, it only changes every 14 days, which IMO
doesn't warrent for breaking dependencies.
