Hi Norbert, You are absolutely right. There is much more redundancy than I expected. I joined all .d files in one single file and after running make on it and printing the database, it's actually 10x smaller. And I know there must be more duplication since my files names are not all relative to the same root yet.
I'll continue this path and see if I can get acceptable performance. If not, I will insist a little bit more on this thread. The build system refactoring will also allow pluging other builders like Ninja, so I can put this problem aside for now. Thanks!
