Howto re-compile ony parts?

[Martin Buchholz]

Unfortunately, incremental builds by running make in subdirectories
have historically been quite unreliable, and it has never been highest priority
to fix them.  Developers often do (at least in the jdk repository)
- try incremental build; it might work...
- else back off to rebuilding everything;
  cd jdk/make; make clobber all

You could try to fix all of the subdirectory makefiles, but that's an
enormous job.
For bonus points, you could try to fix the architecture of the
recursive makes themselves
using the ideas in "Recursive Make Considered Harmful"
