I've recently come back to FreeBSD after a couple of years' absence.
I'm now running/tracking 4.3-STABLE but I have noticed that after a
cvsup if I change to the source directory of a utility that, say, one
source file has changed in and do a "make", all files get recompiled -
not just the one that changed. This is even though there is an
existing set of object files in /usr/obj. In fact, after a few days,
if I change to the source directory of a utility that hasn't changed
at all it still recompiles everything.

Now, back when I was running 3.x I'm sure that only the files that
changed would recompile. Has something been altered?

Thanks,

Mike
