I'd just like to add one more comment. Of course it's an error that the
compiler crashes with a runtime error and does not issue a proper
error message. But the problem arises due to some mis-use of the
package building and ****pping mechanism. Where should code that is
located outside a package be ****pped to? The proper approach would
be to put code that is used by multiple clients into its own
package. The whole M3 build system is based on the concept of
packages and not on arbitrarily arranged single files, that can
be compiled on their own.
