[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46063] Build system re-makes certain files 2 or even 3 times

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #46063 (project octave):

I think it should be possible to decouple some of the dependencies on the
Makefile.  If I remember correctly, this was partly a result of the structure
of our old build system and no longer applies.

Most programs use configure to change variables that need to be modified
rarely.  I think the Octave system may be trying too hard to customizable and
granting the ability to change things on a per make invocation rather than
just a per configure invocation.
