But this is exactly how it works unless B builds a library. I have a 
large number of interdependent projects and everything is built 
automatically as necessary.

When it comes to a release, I generate the corresponding library 
building projects from a script.

Another reason not to use libraries during the development phase is that 
addr2line does not work with dynamic libraries. You must catch exception 
in the program and find where addresses belong to. This cannot be done 
when the program is no more running.
