Great work!
Just as an additional note to all:
--with-max-jobs gets more important by this change as it is the only
relevant limit in "tail_build". You should increment it to a sensible
number of jobs. --with-num-cpus however get more irrelevant (as it is
always "1" in tail_build).

Maybe we can get that picture updated with tail_build replacing all the
modules in it? It would make it a bit easier to read.

There are some weird things going on in these modules and I wonder I we
should migrate them as-is or clean them up on the way. If somebody
starts to work on them IMHO he should get some leeway to do not a
one-to-one translation, but something that cleanly fits into gbuild.

My vote would be to build it last.

Worked fine here too.

Best,
