I did exactly that for win32. The old win32 build system recompiled buildmark.c as a build step (bleh.) The new win32 build system has the compilation of buildmark.c as a prelink step - if we aren't linking libhttpd, we don't recompile buildmark.
Seemed to be a trivial solution, and avoided many, many worthless relink's, since recompiling buildmark.c forces the linker.
