At first glance this seems normal behaviour to me.  If one file changes, 
this may influence the complete build.  Perhaps some compilers are smart 
enough to know in some cases that not every needs to be rebuilt, but 
still: rebuilding everything may not be the fastest solution, but it is 
the safest.
