It never was a single DAG, so that never changed. It however used to
have a trick that avoided part of the recursion, but it was complex and
didn't work to make 'build binaries' part of the normal build.

The eventual goal is for the 'build faster' thing to be the default, but
it's a long way there. I definitely want to add binaries to the
equation, but the first goal was to provide something that works well
