Hello,

You seem to look for a model where each unit compilation ands into a file that 
contains, roughly, the following information (with overlaps):
- the specification, "digested"
- the contents of the .ali file
- unit dependencies
- time stamps to check need of recompilations
- the compiled code (the .o object file itself).

This model exists and works fine (esp., less files and a way faster 
compilation!), it is the one of Turbo Pascal's .TPU files (~1988...) and its 
descendants (TPW, Delphi). You just have to take a close look at it. No need 
to reinvent anything...
