[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48101] After changing m-file documentation, build system relinks liboctave, liboctinterp, etc.

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #48101 (project octave):

If you make any change that alters the hg ID, then the build-info.cc files
will change and need to be recompiled which causes the shared library files to
be relinked.

I don't see a way to fix that and still embed the hg ID in the libraries.

Storing the hg ID in separate files outside of the binaries would solve the
recompiling problem but would not be as reliable for identifying screwed up
installations in which people are running with incorrect or mismatched library
versions.
