Sorry to hear you're disappointed by the way the system *was designed*
to work. "make world" is used to bootstrap the system and to make sure
*everything* is consistent. Perhaps, you should read the Makefile and
try to understand its layout. If you're simply trying to update some
libraries or binaries. You can do a "make clean && make all && make install"
without doing the bootstrap

Sounds like a limt set by your shell.
