I encounter same problem. Actually, I did full rebuild every time (which is counter-productive). But, reading at your mail, I have an other idea: what about the "remote" compilation offered by autotools?

Normally, autotools are design in such way that you can share the same source for different configuration. To do this, simply create one "build" directory per branch, go to this directory and do: ../configure && make

I'm unable to try it now, so I express now all my "confuses" if it was a bad idea.
