[CMake] CMake rebuilding too much

I've got a reasonably big project with 30+ shared libraries and 70+
executables all in one cmake-based project. Today I changed one line in
a CMakeLists.txt in a sub-directory to link boost program_options in one
particular executable, and it caused cmake to decide that it needed to
recompile everything. Why does it do that? Is there a way that I can
have cmake tell me the reason?
This is the rather innocuous change that caused CMake to rebuild a lot
more than 'srscrubber'.
< target_link_libraries(srscrubber camutility)
> target_link_libraries(srscrubber camutility
${Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIBRARY})
I'm using cmake version 2.6-patch 4 on centos linux 5.5 with the default
makefile generator.
Thanks,
Thomas
