Build time dependency checking is done completely by make when using makefiles. And the usual make uses timestamps to do this. See e.g. http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/1702/ -> "Reliability issues" or other papers that have written enough about this problem like http://www.genode-labs.com/publications/scons-vs-make-2008.pdf If you want to change this, improve make or use a different method.
