Unfortunately, sharing a build directory between separate repositories

Then I suggest that your build tools are broken. Rebuilding should not
depend on an _ordering_ between modification times of source and object,
merely on whether the timestamp of the source file is different to its
timestamp the last time we looked. (This requires your build tools to
keep a journal/log, yes, but it is the only safe way to do it.)
So 'make' is broken (in this regard)? Then - I fear - everyone has to
cope with that.
