In this context, we should keep an eye on our Makefile.  As per this
page, http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/make_utility.html,
the make process would be slow if we use too many recursively expanded
variables. Remember, our Makefile already contains around 1500 lines!

For more details, please refer this link
http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/make_utility.html and
search for 'slow'.
