We have this problem too using recursive make and I am interested in =0A= what other solutions there are. Currently we sleep until the start of the n= ext =0A= second using a custom binary=2C but it does slow down the =0A= build. Another thing I've tried though haven't put much thought into is touching t= he lib file -1 second after each ar command.
