If *anything* is rebuilt (specifically, > libgimp/libgimpi.a and app/gimp), then you are affected by the bug. Just FYI - I've seen this for quite some time but didn't realize it was a problem till I tried to figure out why it didn't work across NFS. In my case, I run "make" and "make install" (the latter as root, which exposes the rebuild issue on the NFS mounted partition). I primarily noticed that perl rebuilds that .po~ file (something like that), but only because it happened to be one of the last things done during the install and happened to still be visible in the xterm. If you sit and watch the "make install" you'll see it build other things. -- Michael J.
