If I understand you right, you want to change something in the code and
then rebuild an image? If so, I recommend to _always_ 'rm -rf BUILDDIR'
and re-do the "./buildtarget foo/bar" etc.

That's the safest thing to do, you can then be sure that no old stuff
is still left around and being incorrectly re-used. Yes, it's not really
elegant or fast, but it's the one thing that works for sure.


HTH, Uwe.
