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
abit 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
triggerrebuilds of dependent frontend binaries. 

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