I don't think that's needed, the individual stage2.c and resulting
stage2.o files are in different directories.

I don't understand. Can you elaborate?

Putting code in header files is probably a thing of
the past in v3, I don't see much reason why we should do that.

stage1.c will usually only contain very small pieces of code, and there
won't be much overlap with what's in stage2.c, I guess.
