it's not clear to me why ppudump must be a strictly independent stand-alone executable.
I did not say that it must be a stand-alone executable. I said that it must not depend on the code generator (whether it's inside or outside the compiler is irrelevant to that point). And the reason I said that is because Hans-Peter's wants to move it inside the compiler so that making ppudump depend on the code generator would no longer break the build.
The basic problem is that his rewrite made ppudump dependent on the code generator, not that ppudump's independence of the code generator is enforced by the build system.
