I would rather not see the old stuff re-appear that put perl eval commands 
into the makefile. I had linuxbios builds down to 10 seconds at one point, 
but it is creeping up again as people put stuff like this in:

export LINUXBIOS_BUILD:=$(shell date)
export LINUXBIOS_COMPILE_TIME:=$(shell date +%T)
export LINUXBIOS_COMPILE_BY:=$(shell whoami)
export LINUXBIOS_COMPILE_HOST:=$(shell hostname)
export LINUXBIOS_COMPILE_DOMAIN:=$(shell dnsdomainname)
export LINUXBIOS_COMPILER:=$(shell $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -v 2>&1 | tail -n 1)
export LINUXBIOS_LINKER:=$(shell  $(CC) -Wl,-v 2>&1 | grep version | tail 
-n 1)
export LINUXBIOS_ASSEMBLER:=$(shell  touch dummy.s ; $(CC) -c -Wa,-v 
dummy.s 2>&
1; rm -f dummy.s dummy.o )


I find the LINUXBIOS_ASSEMBLER one fairly distressing. Also, the
'dnsdomainname' has caused trouble in the past on machines which are not
using dns (these do exist).
