Every run rebuilt fec from scratch inside DOS, about 14 seconds, even when no
source had changed. Key a cache on the hash of fec/src plus build-dos.bat and
restore FEC.EXE when it matches; the toolchain itself is pinned by
dosboxx.lock.json so it cannot drift under a hit. Only a passing build is
cached, and the batch skips BUILD.BAT on a hit because it would delete and
rebuild the executable it was just given.
Generated C included stdio.h unconditionally, but only the M4 writer runtime
reaches it. A 26-line unit was pulling in roughly 1900 lines of headers, paid
once per compile check. Emit it only when the runtime is emitted.
--only m6, 57 passed, over three changes:
31s before
17s core=dynamic
2s warm compiler cache
Cold runs still pay the build once.
