Also if it is relevant in some way the bug i was trying to fix is MDEV-5873. i have changed some function signatures in the header and ~5 lines of change in the cc file.
Oh, you're looking into that? I do hope you will share any findings :-) I was rather annoyed that I ended up releasing with this bug/limitation, I *think* it should be possible to do it correctly in a reasonable way, but I haven't had time to think it through yet. I'd be fantastic to get this one fixed. Unfortunately, I do not know how to solve the problem with excessive rebuild. I know that when I change most any .h file it ends up rebuilding a _lot_ of stuff, I always assumed it was just everything including most everything else recursively. But that does not help explain the second rebuild with no file changes. - Kristian.
