While I think it might be good to have a build() API on IMakeBuilder to
run multiple jobs, you could for now also just chain the targets
yourself. This could be done rather easily with your own
composite-build-job which first starts a make-job that builds the kernel
and connects to its finished/error signals. Once the first target is
built successfully you schedule the next make-job for the next target
etc. I know this is not as nice as a multi-target build function, but it
won't require any code-changes and makes your plugin usable with
currently released kdevelop versions.
