I've added code to the ntp.org Makefile.am files to ensure the static utility library libntp.a is up-to-date for each program that uses it, to ensure the build is correct. When building the project, this adds a bunch of extra submake invocations which slows down the build. I'd like to omit those when --disable-dependency-tracking is used, to speed one-off builds that are done by end-users and packagers.
I'm guessing someone has trod this ground before. I'd appreciate pointers to examples of how others have detected --disable-dependency-tracking to change their build behavior. Thanks in advance. Dave Hart
