Recent 9e6e39c3512f7a962c44dc3729c98a0f8be90341 increases many include files and it makes slow build on my machine.

My build environment is not normal:

• srcdir is managed on Windows 10 host file system and edit it on windows native editors (xyzzy)
• Build on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) by mounting srcdir with CIFS (samba)

Same machine, but srcdir on guest Linux (/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered))

Same machine, but compile on host Windows (mswin64).

$ time nmake range.obj

I recognize that using CIFS for build environment is not normal environment, so it is not a big issue.
But I filed it if there is a chance to solve it.

BTW, I tried to make simple .c files which includes 1000 simple files, but only a few seconds to build. So the file number is not a big issue.
