The "local approach" is essentially what I suggested back then, so if this works for you then I am happy -- with the understanding that we will replace it with the global support soon (it is good to have a use case in-tree :) I see you play some tricks to get the ordering right, including a sub-make with a double build of the `.rmeta` in "private", which in turn forces you also to do the `.o`, right? What I originally had in mind was simply to do everything from a single parent `Makefile` instead, precisely to avoid complexity (after all, it is the local approach, so you don't need to force yourself to handle that). That should remove all those shenanigans, and it is way easier to get right. Did you consider it? By the way, I think a `.gitignore` entry for the generated header is missing. Cheers, Miguel
