Couldn't you just specify for all things which depend on
shared libraries an actual dependency in make? If a shared
library changes, then all 'exe's and shared libraries which
depend on it would be rebuilt. Quite easy to automate this
with make.

They normally are---as you say, it's easy to automate. IIUC, in
his case, there's no felt need to reinvoke make on the programs
which haven't changed. And if you don't invoke make, it doesn't
matter what dependencies make recognizes.
