We've done at least an rpcgen update on a branch, as well as added things
to make(1); I'd need to check to find others.

In the default case, with a full tree, the tools will build first.  I don't
see a reason to have different behavior for release branches.

This is, indeed, new behavior.  However, it is documented, with the reason
for it being that way.  The option to disable this behavior is also
documented.
