One more point. When you build a new library, the only safe thing to do is rebuild everything that uses that library. You don't know if they changed an element of a structure or not. If they didn't and you rebuild everything, all you did is lose some cpu time. If they modified something, and you don't rebuild everything, then, you have introduced the possiblity for massive offset errors that you won't know about until someone breaks into your system.
