My understanding is the OS does this itself - if you memory map a file
read-only, it can share memory pages with other processes that are also
doing that?

I would expect the BMIs to be within the domain of the build system (like
object files being passed to the linker later on) - and if something goes
messing around in the build system's directories... they get what they
asked for? (similarly deleting object files or otherwise modifying them
yourself/with something other than the build system is bound to cause
problems & the answer is generally: don't do that)
