In the 3.13 Makefile system, "make build" would do compilation, build
libraries, expand dbd files, etc, etc, but would not "install" anything.
This allowed testing of new code or build options without having to use a
separate build tree to avoid interference with production software.

Under 3.14, I find that "make build" only prevents installation of
"products", ie. executable host programs and IOC applications.  It does not
prevent the installation of dbd files, libraries or header files.

I note that "build" is not listed in section 4.5.2 (Frequently used Make
commands) of the AppDevGuide, appearing only in the fine print of section
4.5.3 (Make targets).

Do only "Frequently used" targets actually get tested for proper behavior ?

I think this is a consequence of EPICS 3.14's support for modules.

For systems consisting of several modules that use each other's facilities (e.g., record type implemented in one module, device support or databases using that record implemented in another module), "make build" cannot succeed unless the file types you mentioned are installed.
