Can you be more specific about "invalidate" here? I'd guess from your
mention of "make strip" that it's rebuilding the C code repeatedly.

I don't see that, but I do notice two other problems running "make"
repeatedly:

  1. We also rebuild git-instaweb. It depends on gitweb, but that's a
     subdirectory target. I'm not sure if we should just drop this
     dependency completely, or if the intent is "make sure gitweb is
     built". I do not see anything in the build rule that actually
     depends on gitweb, though. I think it could have been dropped in
     ff2e2cd (git-instaweb: Simplify build dependency on gitweb,
     2011-05-07). +cc Jakub for that.

  2. The perl scripts all depend on GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS as of e204b00
     (Makefile: have perl scripts depend on NO_PERL setting,
     2014-11-18). This is a good thing in general, but we build
     GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS each time we run, which results in all of the
     perl scripts being rebuilt. It really needs the usual "see what it
     would look like, and do not update the file if it didn't change"
     behavior that we do for things like GIT-SCRIPT-DEFINES.  The patch
     below fixes it for me, but we might be able to do something less
     messy.
