You can build single directories or even targets via the context menu.
It's not possible to make this automatical without completely reimple-
menting 'make', because their can be arbitrary dependencies between
directories.

Your performance problem mainly comes from the recursive nature of
automake builds. Because of that, for the evaluation of the dependency
tree many header files (in kdevelop e.g. those in lib/interfaces) have
to be stat()ed for each directory again. With a build system where every-
thing is in one Makefile, this would be much less costly.
