I prefer to compile all files in one step, because it is a lot faster.

As a good example you can checkout the Win32 API project and build it
with the current makefile and then checkout the previous version (before
"-lib" was introduced:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/bindings/browser/trunk/win32/makefile?rev=251)
of the makefile and see the difference for yourself.
