I had been under the impression that Ada was designed for software
systems of more than one compilation unit...

I'm curious about the elaboration rules when a compilation system
of 3_000 complete compilers is working on the same source at the
same time (not using gnatmake).
How many compilation units would be under the control of the
3_000 compilers in this example? How do they get organized?

Ehr, why is that?
"`-jn'
   Use n processes to carry out the (re)compilations. On a
   multiprocessor machine compilations will occur in parallel."
