Makefile dependency tree is incomplete, makefiles do not build only as necessary

• Subsystem: gyp/make

The makefiles generated by gyp are not working for development (they work better for single-shot CI builds). Perhaps I'm missing something, please tell me if I am, but I've done some asking around to people who know the gyp system, and have some agreement on these points.

• make node; make node Make should do nothing if no source code has been changed, but make node relinks both node and cctest (!?) every time it is run.

• make -C out node is faster, but and builds just node, not cctest, but it does it even if no source has changed. However, its build/dependency tree is incomplete! It doesn't run js2c so if any js source files are changed they will not be built-in with js2c. Fast and wrong is worse than slow.

• make -C out/Release node as above

• make -j4 node; make -j1 test often required. parallel make is not working for test. Various symptoms of brokenness occur (irc has some discussion). Sounds like this could be related to the dependency relationships not being correctly specified, causing build rules to run in parallel when they cannot, and thus be racy.

• ./configure --shared-openssl-includes will cause openssl include paths to be passed to dependencies that don't use openssl. This might appear harmless, but it (for example) causes ccache to rebuild icu, even though icu doesn't use openssl. Possible fix: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/eef6504cf7b95ada170ec9878089ce57fde551d8/common.gypi#L549-L560, add OPENSSL_THREADS to the else clause (I haven't tried yet).

Ninja notes:

Ninja (./configure --ninja) doesn't have the above problems for building, its dependency tree is correct (it builds nothing when nothing has changed, and it reruns js2c when js files have changed).

However, it is either incomplete or not integrated with the rest of the build (I'm not sure how its intended to work). It doesn't make the top-level node symlink (at least test-doc relies on this), so a ln -s out/Release/node node is required for make test-doc. As for make test, it won't use the ninja build output, because it relies on .PHONY targets, so it always (effectively) does a make -C out all.

从 repository 根目录重现列出的 make 和 Ninja 命令，然后检查生成的 Makefiles 以及 common.gypi 中的依赖设置。比较 Make 和 Ninja 的依赖树，包括 js2c 和顶层的 node 符号链接。完成的标准是：未发生变化的构建是 no-op，JavaScript 更改会重新运行 js2c，并行测试构建可靠，并且 Ninja 输出可与文档中记录的测试命令配合工作。
