Summary: com. line args not honoured for recompil

Initial Comment:
I compiled a file with a standard compile and link and some flags, include 
-fallow-overlapping-isntances.  I was interested in 
whether overlapping instances were really required, so I recompiled -- without 
modifying the file -- without 
-fallow-overlapping-instances.  I got the "compilation IS NOT required" 
message, clearly erroneous.

Suggestion: flag configuration / compiler state stored in generated code and 
checked on recompile.

Thanks,
Nick

Yes, but (a) make doesn't know that you've changed the 
options, (b) sometimes you want to change options without 
recompiling, eg. adding/removing -O, etc. and (c) it's extra 
work for us to implement :-)

Workaround: use -no-recomp
