Kevin: MPW's automatically built make files certainly do NOT behave as you describe. It generates a separate dependency line for each c++ source file and only compiles the ones that have changed. I just confirmed that again to make sure I wasn't imagining it. That facility works perfectly for all the languages I have. Where did you get your make file, and how are you invoking it? If you invoke it from the menu or using the command line option properly, you only get a full build if you request it. Mario P.S. It is, however, annoying that it doesn't also figure out your .h file dependencies (but that's harder to do automatically).
