It does. Any technique that relies on features specific to translation units, such as taking advantage of internal linkage to reuse symbols to hold data specific to translation units, cannot be used anymore.
Also, even though global builds are faster, you forego the ability to do incremental builds which makes working over a bug a more time-consuming task.
