I don't see this as a big issue. Note I originally misunderstood the issue you
were talking about. You are saying if you delete a header file that was used
originally and now you need to rebuild everything.
Large projects have handled this always by just make clean and rebuild.
Incremental builds should only be used for small developmental changes. You
should always do a full rebuild just in case there is some stale changes left
behind in a large project.
GCC for an example always requires you do a full bootstrap to make sure nothing
gets miscompiled. I am not seeing why this is a huge problem in general.
