I wish also that the builds were interactive, eg questions:

"do you wish xyz library to be shared? (y/n)"

for my own programs I always use interactive shell scripts eg:

do you want interaction?

(no => no further questions)

do you want to recompile from scratch?

do you want to regenerate external dependencies from scratch?

Any part of the build which requires free will should ask the user a question,


If that is needed, it should be a separate layer.  Don't
want scripted builds to halt because gcc needs to ask a question.
Feel free to write a nice front end to the build process
and contribute it.  (That's kinda what I did with crosstool.)
