[PATCH 0/4] build: minimize rebuilds

Following patchset minimizes re-builds.
With the setup I use at the moment where I run
build tests on 100+ arm related boards I see that the
build time is reduced to half - for an otherwise
clean build with no changes.
In other words - the wall clock time for a
simple "try to build all boards" where nothing
has changed goes from ~2:35 minutes to 1:21 minutes

The patches has been tested in my local setup - and
no missing rebuilds was seen.

      build: fix that passwd.h is always built
