It says 'Using existing global Makefile for install' so ignoring all
changes to config, Makefile.in, environment variables and the command
line during install is correct. It is difficult to be 100% sure if any
change has affected the generated makfile or not, this is why I refuse
to optimize away the makefile generation when "nothing has changed".
OTOH, I can detect if some makefile associated data has changed at
install time and issue warnings. What do people think, is it worth
checking for CML and makefile changes during install or is the message
"Using existing global Makefile for install" enough of a hint that CML
and makefile changes are ignored. This is only a problem when building
as one user and installing as another, doing make oldconfig install all
as root does a full check.
