Hmm, I've actually started the rebuild.  It actually finished much 
sooner than expected.  It didn't actually rebuild everything.  It 
rebuilt gcc and qt.  I assumed it was going to rebuild everything, since 
it started with gcc.  But it seems I was wrong.  I've still no idea why 
it did that.  Most probably I touched some file by mistake.

Not sure how easy it would be to automate this.  Here's a good example 
(qt.mk) of the kind of changes I'm doing:
