Peter Eisentraut	3690019da8	We don't need to rebuild objfiles.txt every time an object file changes. So only rebuild when a makefile changes (which presumably defines the file list somewhere), and only touch the file if an object changed. The touch is necessary so the parent make knows something changed and ultimately rebuilds postgres.	18 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	9956ddc191	Link postgres from all object files at once, to avoid the error-prone SUBSYS.o step and allow for better optimization by the linker. Instead of partial linking into SUBSYS.o, the list of object files is assembled in objfiles.txt files that are expanded when the final linking is done. Because we are not yet sure how long command lines different platforms can handle, the old way of linking is still available, by defining the make variable PARTIAL_LINKING (e.g., make all PARTIAL_LINKING=1). If we determine that this is necessary for some platforms, then we will document this in a more prominent place.	18 years ago
