Sounds like a good idea. Maybe not for C modules (which may require recompiling to be used with a new pike version), but for undumped pure pike modules (with appropriate #pike declarations).
Maybe C modules just should be tagged for what Pike module API version they work with. It doesn't change that often (hopefully). It could be in the filename - "Image.so.api-7.5a" :)

I don't know what that does. (I've never wanted to compile a separate module.) I'm not claiming the problem isn't solved already. :-)
It compiles a module in a separate directory. You don't need the main build-tree of the pike, just an installed pike.
How about a separate installation tree, like site-lisp (site-pike?), that doesn't get erased with installing new pike revisions?
