Question: rebuilding frontend tools after libpgfeutils.a changes?

Hi,

While working on patch [1], I noticed that after modifying astreamer_lz4.c, running “make" only rebuilds libpgfeutils.a, but does not automatically rebuild the client tools that depend on it. This makes iterative development a bit inconvenient, as the tools need to be rebuilt manually.

I am wondering whether it would be worth updating the relevant Makefiles so that changes to libpgfeutils.a properly trigger rebuilds of dependent frontend binaries.

Since this would likely involve touching quite a few Makefiles, I’d prefer to check first whether committers think the effort is worthwhile before spending time on it. That’s the reason for this email.
