Since I don't like "circular uses" very much, and therefore don't
use them, I don't know exactly how well they're supported now and if
there are any bugs. However, a utility which is planned for the
nearer future should make their compilation easier...

For now, perhaps the problem vanishes if you get the unit-path
working and don't need the paths in the source.
