It's not a make or ninja issue. It's combination of "bad" date 
resolution, fast changing of file and performance of native build tool.
I can't reproduce scenario with source change on NTFS with Visual Studio 
generator, probably because Visual Studio is slow enough and play the 
role of "sleeping-guard". However I can reproduce same test on FAT32. 
And I've said already I can reproduce it on HFS with Xcode generator.
