That's not what I meant. You can hack the source code of GNU make
with the goal to (optionally) replace timestamp-based dependencies
with file-hash-based depdendencies. No changes at all in any user
makefiles. It's not a large change even. IIRC somebody has done
this already, it just hasn't been merged upstream.
BTW, Nathanael's propositions in this thread go in the same direction:
