That is a known artifact of the current build system, which blows away more 
files than strictly necessary before calling the kernel's build process.  I 
expect that a patch which makes this work better would be welcomed, 
provided it does not do so at the expense of failing to rebuild files whose 
dependencies have actually changed.
