Actually, I would think the relation between fpc src and build can be 
described as n to 1

- For any commit in fpc-src there is one fpc build commit that works 
(others may, but one that should be used)
- For any commit in fpc-build there are many commits in fpc-source that 
it can be used with/for.

But because the submodule in the current direction, allows to specify 
only one fpc-source commit as belonging to the fpc-build commit, you 
artificially keep creating commits, so you can link to all the other 
fpc-source commits.

And if you reverse the dependency, that should disappear. You only need 
the submodule update, when it is technically required.

If the dependency order is swapped, and you commit to fpc source and it 
keeps building with the same fpc-build, then there is on submodule 
update needed.
