No; build just provides defaults for the build_* commands and runs them.
Just do "python setup.py build_ext -Rwhatever build"; the build_ext command
will only get run once, and with the options you supply. I think you can
also do it as "python setup.py build build_ext -Rwhatever", but the
commands will run in a slightly different order in that case.
