Hi,

I've noticed that libitm is always rebuild with a non-bootstrap tree even 
with merely a sequence of two makes.  The reason turns out to be that 
installation of unwind.h from libgcc, which is always done with a simple 
make:

# make
# make -d
...
dest=../.././gcc/include/tmp$$-unwind.h; \
        cp unwind.h $dest; \
        chmod a+r $dest; \
        sh ../../../gcc/libgcc/../move-if-change $dest 
../.././gcc/include/unwind.h

(this is still fine, because it uses move-if-change)

...

make install-leaf DESTDIR=../.././gcc \
          slibdir= libsubdir= MULTIOSDIR=.
...
/bin/sh ../../../gcc/libgcc/../mkinstalldirs ../.././gcc/include
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 unwind.h ../.././gcc/include

This one updates the mtime of gcc/include/unwind.h, and is the problematic 
one, ultimately resulting in:

     Prerequisite `/matz/gcc/svn/real-trunk/dev/gcc/include/unwind.h' is 
     newer than target `aatree.lo'.

And all of libitm (our only c++ library) is rebuilt as all objects therein 
have a dependency on unwind.h.

There are multiple variants to fix:
a) use install -p (or -C) generally for all INSTALLs in all makefiles
b) use a) for only libgcc Makefile
c) don't repeatedly install the same files on a remake even though nothing 
   was compiled newly (perhaps some stamp files could be used to make 
   leaf-install a no-op if nothing new was built?)

I've checked that hardcoding -p for INSTALL in the top-level Makefile 
solves this problem (see patch), but perhaps you prefer one of the others 
(or can think of something else entirely).


Ciao,
Michael.
