Hi Olivier,

It seems both have pros and cons,

Your patch pros,
- faster
- and simpler implementation.

cons,
- Need to update another Makefile in another level to update
dependencies of a library/driver.
- Root level dependencies hardcoded to a mk level makefile.
- removes depgraph target too, not sure how commonly used



Original implementation pros:
- self contained, it manages dependencies of library in same Makefile
- no hardcoded dependencies, all resolved dynamically

cons,
- relatively slower, but not too bad with -j make option.
- complex implementation


I would prefer my version, surprisingly J, but it is good to have
alternatives, and I don't have strong opinion against your patch.

Thanks,
ferruh
