`make regen-opcode` always writes the destination unconditionally, after which `make` thinks it has to rebuild everything.

Note that at least `make regen-ast` will also need to be changed in order to reduce build times on Travis-CI.

Looks like `pgen` will also have to be changed, which is more annoying as it's written in C...

Perhaps another approach can be used that will use a separate utility to do the copying if the contents changed?

Posted https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/3678 which uses a separate utility.  It seems to save 1 minute off the build step on Travis-CI.

Note that GNU install (`install -C`) would probably do the trick, but is not necessarily installed on the build system.

If it works well, maybe it's worth it to backport the change to the 3.6 branch. We still backport a lot of changes to 3.6. But maybe wait until 3.6.3 final is released?

Fair enough. Does someone want to do the backport? :-)

I may do the backport, or ask the bot to do it. Right now I prefer to check if everything is fine on all CI.

Victor, are the buildbots fine now?

> Victor, are the buildbots fine now?

I didn't see anything wrong on buildbots, nor Travis CI/AppVeyor on PRs. So we can now backport the "optimization". Do you want to do it, Antoine?
