Each time you do an antcall, ant will do a separate set of dependency
handling - so in this case the repetitive calls to compile are exactly what
you have asked for.
To avoid them, use depends on the top level target instead:
<target name="build"
depends="build-app1, build-app2, build-app3"/>
Of course, if you must use ant-call for other reasons, using a property is
a good fix.

Same here - I get enough SPAM as it is.
