Overall, I think that the focus should be on clarity over disk space
savings.  Your stubbornness about obtaining more space aside, I think
that the trend is towards disk space becoming cheaper than programmer
brain cells, and I would not want to see the Makefiles cluttered with
changes aimed at supporting partial builds - I think that the whole
partial build problem is a fool's errand and not worth the time better
spent in making dependencies work more consistently in a complete
src tree.
