We have this problem too using recursive make and I am interested in =0A=
what other solutions there are. Currently we sleep until the start of the n=
ext =0A=
second using a custom binary=2C but it does slow down the =0A=
build.

Another thing I've tried though haven't put much thought into is touching t=
he lib file -1 second after each ar command.
