Why my file is recompiled every time ?

Hi,

When I've such a component form:

  (:file "bar" :in-order-to ((compile-op (load-op "foo"))))

the file "bar" is recompiled each time I reload the system, even if
neither bar nor foo (nor any possible dependencies) are modified in the
meantime.

I've tested the following with ASDF 1.107 with SBCL 1.0.1 on Linux:

$ touch a b
$ cat test.asd
(defpackage #:test-system
  (:use #:cl #:asdf))
(in-package #:test-system)

(defsystem #:test
  :components ((:file "a")
               (:file "b" :in-order-to ((compile-op (load-op "a"))))))
$ sbcl --no-userinit
* (load "asdf.lisp")
[..]
* (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'test)
[..]
; compiling file "[..]/a.lisp" (written 15 APR 2007 10:20:00 PM):
[..]
; compiling file "[..]/b.lisp" (written 15 APR 2007 10:20:00 PM):
[..]
* ^D
$ sbcl --no-userinit
* (load "asdf.lisp")
[..]
* (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'test)
[..]
; compiling file "[..]/b.lisp" (written 15 APR 2007 10:20:00 PM):
[..]
* ^D

Is that a normal behavior ?
