I have two things to say about this: - This never really worked properly. It kind of worked, but let's not pretend that there's ever been a value of "properly" that applied to it. - The only thing that recently changed (and that will be "fixed", for some value of "fixed") is that mach build subdir won't recurse sub-subdirectories for C/C++ compilation/linkage. That's all. Stuff in subdir is still compiled, and headers in sub-subdirs are still exported, js still copied, preprocessed, etc. So, mach build gfx/2d is still going to rebuild moz2d (and possibly more, thanks to dumbmake, but only for some directories) And if you want to rebuild C/C++ code quickly (and properly), you can use mach build binaries.
