Maybe I should save up all my notes for one large email.

Has any thought been put into being able to restart a
package's build 
where it left off rather than from the beginning?

The problem with "restart from the beginning" is
evident when using 
028-binutils-pass1 as an example. It won't work because
binutils-build 
already exists and "make" aborts.

Restarting 'make' like this should ideally remove the
current partial 
build (binutils-build and binutils-version) directories and
start over 
with unpacking, etc.

This is probably less of an issue with packages that don't
require the 
use of -build directories so there's no actual command that
will fail 
when it is run a second time.

That, or change all mkdir's to mkdir -p
