Say.  That's annoying.

I really hate non-incremental cross build environments.  I guess it
comes from using configure instead of makefiles to do the cross
build ...that's the problem with configure: it wants a single
target to result from the configuration process.  No way to mount
the same CDROM/read-only-NFS on multiple machines and generate
working code without fighting the configure program first.  8-(.
