I never do anything with buildroot other than complete ground-up
builds from scratch.  Despite the documented ways to do partial
rebuilds, I was never able to reliably do a parial rebuild.  After
several instances of spending hours or days chasing problems that went
away after a complete re-build, I simply gave up on doing anything
other than building from zero.
