Although I did not took a look a this "amalgamation" I guess it's just 
including
all sources in one big compiler invocation ala etc/all.c, such as the 
KDE project
also already did for a long time when build with --enable-final.

Note that all this is handled by modern compilers with link time 
optimizations,
such as possible with LLVM and it's work is in progress for gcc. So 
hopefully
this manually cat'ing together source files can soon be a relict of the 
past :-)

Yours,
