Yes, but 'make' is run a lot more often than 'configure' in some workflows. I think one implicit gnulib expectation is that configure is not run often. (FWIW I don't agree, because if your source tree is several times larger than your gnulib extract, then it really matters whether you need to rebuild the world even rarely.) I proposed using stamp files before, but there are (understandable) reservations against them. Cheers, Ralf
