I'm not sure if there is a solution to make it only update files, probably cmake does not support it. I rarely need to run "make install" though, for C/C++ code changes to the Blender binary it's not needed, and for python scripts you can make a symlink to the scripts directory. Only after svn updates or full rebuilds usually. > I do not do much "make clean", since I iterate like everyone else.

Some other tips for faster rebuilds are to disable WITH_BUILDINFO, use more threads than cores, and to try the ninja build system instead of make.
