`make -C out BUILDTYPE=Release` (or Debug) does an incremental build
unless you've touched the *.gyp or *.gypi files.

Check for clock skew issues if you keep getting whole tree rebuilds.
GNU make usually but not always warns about it ("timestamp in future",
that kind of thing). `rm -rf out` and running configure again has a
high probability of fixing that.
