So, assuming you may link in other stuff that is not an Independent

compile these with an Eligible Compilation Process.

No.  That would imply that the runtime library exception license
somehow releases you from all other licenses on the code, which is not
the case.  If your program is derived from code which is under the GPL
without the runtime library exception, you must obey the full GPL.

But if code that is not an Independent Module may be added, and the conveying has to be consistent with the licensing of that code, what purpose does
the mentioning of Independent Modules in the Grant of Additional Permission
serve?  It seems you are saying that 'Independent Modules' could be read
as 'any other code you like' to give the same meaning, only more clearly.
