Just out of curiosity: In [1], item (1), I reported on the fact that one can modify a project's CMakeLists.txt, and "cmake --build" will reconfigure/regenerate, but not rebuild. Is this the same issue the OP asks about? If so, I would strongly support a feature request in this respect since, IMO, it's actually quite confusing that CMake's "--build" command does anything but rebuilding.
