Currently it only monitors files in the top source directory.  Scanning headers
outside of the top srcdir will be slow.

I can add a knob to enable this on-demand but I would not want to leave it on as
how often are we editing system headers?  It's a nontrivial slowdown of the
build.

It may be possible to cache the system header hashes during configure to speedup
the build later... how important is it to have this on all the time?  I have yet
to run into a situation where it was imperative to have it always-enabled.

It is not important to have this on all the time. Its more for people who regularly install new tool chains, so not the standard RTEMS user. A waf config time option would be nice.
