That's true if the options you choose don't change the dependencies, but
if they do, you're liable to miss something.
What portmaster does is to run make config in the parent, then build the
dependency list. Then it spawns a new child for each dependency that needs
to be rebuilt, and repeats the process. That way you can be sure that
you've updated everything before the build starts.
