+	* remake.c (update_file): If you have large numbers of
+	dependencies and you run in parallel, make can spend considerable
+	time each pass through the graph looking at branches it has
+	already seen.  Since we only reap_children() when starting a pass,
+	not in the middle, if a branch has been seen already in that pass
+	nothing interesting can happen until the next pass.  So, we toggle
+	a bit saying whether we've seen this target in this pass or not.
+	(update_goal_chain): Initially set the global considered toggle to
+	1, since all targets initialize their boolean to 0.  At the end of
+	each pass, toggle the global considered variable.  * filedef.h
+	(struct file): Per-file considered toggle bit.  * file.c: New
+	global toggle variable considered.
