I cannot reproduce the bug (at least with the last version).

Can you reproduce it on a tiny example?

Do you have a plugin?

I don't have a plugin, so far as I know. (Actually I don't know what you are asking). Here's a little terminal log: nothing happens in the second build, and the main.native in _buildppc has the wrong architecture. After a -clean I get the right effect.

Ok, I got it!

Thats the `link' feature that is mess up the whole thing.

As a workaround you can use the -no-links option to avoid creating these stupid links.

I've also fixed in CVS by automatically put -no-links when -build-dir is set.
