Thanks.

Right, that's what the post-commit-message remark says. The main
goal is to be consistent in what we do. The primary reason for
me to have chosen this route is that the compat header generation
isn't really quick, compared to the rest of the build process. It
is so slow that commit 7e9009891688 ("include: parallelize
compat/xlat.h generation") was a significant (i.e. very
noticeable) win.
