I took the notice already beforehand. That wasn't my problem.
I took the exec task:
<exec executable="vec -p:library.xace"/>

Yes, that's right.
But all library.xace files in GOBO have no capability to precompile.

Unfortunately doesn't exist a discription of VE xace files,
only for old format ELD and ESD.
I adapted from several real xace scripts with try and error to understand
the mode of action and wrote than one new XACE file for the whole GOBO
without XML and then for GOBO_XML_CORE separately.
The solution were mounts to several VE Libraries and the element

<option name="include" value="..."/>

And it works fine. XACE, I like it very much.

The listing for GOBO only:

$ cat ${GOBO}/library/precomp_ve.xace
<library name="GOBO">

No more clusters were generated in the cluster subdirectories.
That was it, what I wanted.
                                                            

Unfortunately it gives no significant shorter compile time for the
big projects (long link time),for the little projects about 10
until 40 %.
It influences intense the first compilation only.
But I need precompiled libraries for generating the short
HTML-documentation of
the classes via ghtml tool from OT primarily.
Or is there another tool to generate the class documentation without
precompiling?

All the best
