Hi, I would appreciate it if someone could explain why buildworld must rebuild _everything_, even if there is one small change(or no changes). For example, if I do the initial buildworld, then cvsup and see that code for /bin/ls has changed, then buildworld again, it recompiles everything. Shouldn't buildworld only recompile /bin/ls? Even if *nothing* changes, and I were to just run make buildworld two times consecutively, it still recompiles everything. Could someone explain why this is the behavior instead of just compiling what has changed?
