Why do I do this?  Because, if you remove a file from your tree, an

This has been solved long ago. Check the awesome advanced dependency
generation article by Paul.

FYI:

   http://make.mad-scientist.net/papers/advanced-auto-dependency-generation/

The issue you raise (as well as others) is discussed, hopefully
clearly, in this article [*].

Thanks for sharing that great article!

I'll definitely have to have a look at many or all of the articles in that website!

I've already applied some of the improvements there, reducing no-op make times to 0.7 s in single-process and 0.35 with 'make -j'. I'll keep adding the other improvements too.

Cheers,

Alex
