I saw the same thing. The problem is that there is incomplete dependency
information in the makefiles (not meson) between src/common/ and what is
using it. So whenever anything changes in src/common/, you pretty much have
to do a forced rebuild of everything.
Is that a recent regression? I have some blurry memories from
working on these areas that changing src/common/ reflected on the
compiled pieces effectively at some point.
One instance of this problem that I can reproduce at least back to PG12 is
1. touch src/common/exec.c
2. make -C src/bin/pg_dump
This will rebuild libpgcommon, but it will not relink pg_dump.
