I know about this, and read it. It is a 'popular' link
every time one says recursive make.

All what it boils to, is that recursive make is not
efficient. Ok. Big deal. I can wait 5 more seconds.
I have an 8 quad PC and lots of ram :)

I have been using recursive make for years, never seen a
problem. So I do not need a 'paper' written 15 years ago
to tell it is a bad idea.

I run make from the top of my tree, go make coffee, check
my mail, or take a short nap, and then it is done. It is
really never been an issue for me. so why fix what is not
broken :)

But this is for my personal use. May be for a large company
with millions of lines of code, then it is an issue. I do
not know. There are always things one can do to improve anything
they do I suppose. The problem is to pick the stuff that is
most important to improve on.
