Awe, Thats what I prefer..
I do a bit of hacking on the source, But I try to build only
the affected areas manually.. I was unaware that make all was
smart enough to build only the affected items.

Still learning the make abilities.. A never ending process.. :)

Of course clearing up space is the goal, But not at the
expence of the time to re-make em.. :)

I'll leave em.

Thanks for the tip James..

-Enjoy
