Did anyone who responded actually look at my system?
There seems to be an assumptions that recursive makefiles
incure a large overhead. Here are my figures on a modern machine
original makefile, make -j1: 52 sec
new makefils, make -j1: 53 sec
original makefile, make -j8: not possible
new makefils, make -j8: 17 sec
The extra second, from 52 to 53, is more likely related
to invoking gcc many more times.
The fact that in 1997 hardware recursive make may have been
a problem om Really Large Projects seems less than relevant
for a small project like SIMH in 2009.
