Rebuilding Makefile is used to rebuild the Makefile with user's changes in the dumped commands or pkg_tarball list changes. You don't want it to do anything but that. If you don't select that, then jhalfs reruns everything, extracts commands, attempts to download source, rebuilds the required files and overwrites any changes at all that the user may have done in the dumped commands. it's like starting brand new. Also, if you select rebuild files in general settings and Rebuild Makefile isn't selected, it cleans out the jhalfs build directory and starts from scratch. If you don't select that, then the current jhalfs build directory isn't cleared. Please refer to the Option Descriptions in the menuconfig help and read the README.CUSTOM file for more information. Read all of the documentation to understand all of what jHALFS can perform and how it performs it.
