I'm not actually convinced that this checksumming is a good idea, mainly because I'm not convinced this is enough of a problem. The point of my message was just that this problem *can* be solved at the makefile level. Attacking it by changing automake sounds practical and probably a faster way to a solution, though I would prefer it to be optional even there. (Have you measured how often this sort of thing would save recompilation and/or relinking and how much time it would save then? What's the comparison to how much time would be spent calculating the checksums? If it saves a minute once every 100 compiles but costs a second in each of those, then it's a net loss...)
