[arch-general] makepkg - any way to recompile only newly patched files in large packages?

[David C. Rankin]

All,

  There was a fix for a gtk2 bug I filed regarding the recentchooserdefault.c
file. (it was a one-line fix where a variable needed reset to 0). Is there any
way I can configure makepkg to behave as if the gcc -MP -MD options had been
given to have it only recompile the one patched source without rebuilding the
entire package -- again?

  I've been through the wiki and the man page, and other than --repackage,
there doesn't seem to be anything that would work (or I'm just missing it).
