This is a mailing list for users of the software development site,
Savannah. We don't generally know much about individual software
projects.

The GNU Make project has 3 mailing lists, with help-make being the one
most likely able to answer your questions:
https://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group=make

I believe GNU Make uses file timestamps to determine if a binary is up
to date, but the users on that mailing list are likely to know for
sure.

Cheers,
Jan
