strange things in the build

[Sam Roberts]

Ok, its not my imagination, something really is wrong.

If I modify lib/argcv.c, then "make" in the lib directory,
then "make" in the sieve directory (or any other), the
executable does NOT get remade. Suspicious.

But whats worse, is that my sieve executable does not appear
to be linking against the recompiled lib/argcv.c, I end up
stepping through comment lines and white space in the debugger.

If I then cd into lib, and rm -rf *.o *.lo .libs, rebuild,
and rebuild sieve, I am getting the latest .o file. Are
o files being cached somewhere? What's going on?

Something to note: I'm using --disable-shared.

Also, when I do a make install, libmailutils.la is installed,
why?
