Correct me if I'm wrong but if you build the whole project once, then
modify the lib,
the next "whole build"  should only rebuild the necessary part ? i.e. it'll
rebuild
the lib and all targets that depends on it.

Do you you want to avoid building the whole project in the first place or
does the
second whole build trigger more than necessary target build?
