Makefile dependency tree is incomplete, makefiles do not build only as necessary

* Version: master * Platform:Linux samtu 4.18.0-12-generic #13-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 14 15:17:05 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux * Subsystem: gyp/make The makefiles generated by gyp are not working for development (they work better for single-shot CI builds). Perhaps I'm missing something, please tell me if I am, but I've done some asking around to people who know the gyp system, and have some agreement on these points. - `make node; make node` Make should do *nothing* if no source code has been changed, but `make node` relinks both `node` *and* `cctest` (!?) every time it is run. - `make -C out node` is faster, ~but~ and builds just node, not cctest, but it does it even if no source has changed. However, its build/dependency tree is incomplete! It doesn't run js2c so if any js source files are changed they will not be built-in with js2c. Fast and wrong is worse than slow. - `make -C out/Release node` as above - ` make -j4 node; make -j1 test` often required. parallel make is not working for test. Various symptoms of brokenness occur (irc has some discussion). Sounds like this could be related to the dependency relationships not being correctly specified, causing build rules to run in parallel when they cannot, and thus be racy. - `./configure --shared-openssl-includes` will cause openssl include paths to be passed to dependencies that don't use openssl. This might appear harmless, but it (for example) causes ccache to rebuild icu, even though icu doesn't use openssl. Possible fix: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/eef6504cf7b95ada170ec9878089ce57fde551d8/common.gypi#L549-L560, add `OPENSSL_THREADS` to the else clause (I haven't tried yet). Ninja notes: Ninja (`./configure --ninja`) doesn't have the above problems for building, its dependency tree is correct (it builds nothing when nothing has changed, and it reruns js2c when js files have changed). However, it is either incomplete or not integrated with the rest of the build (I'm not sure how its intended to…
