The best thing you can do is sit down and type:
	info "Make"
This will tell you everything you need to know. There is a lot too, so
get ready to write stuff down. Make also checks to see if a file has been
changed, and will automatically compile changed files, and leave the rest
alone.

I think you have to use ld for this ... I am not sure as I haven't done it
myself. Check the faq, it will most likely say something...
