Hi,
 
It is not incremental build capability per se -- it is incremental _LINK_
capability. The idea the way I understand it is the iLinker builds a large
database of your symbols and other pertinent info during the "first" link. It
then leverages off that info for future links. They have a problem though -- it
does not produce .sym info during the iLink so they are fixing (read hacking?)
up a version of SourceBug that will allow it to read the database info so that
we can still do source level debugs. The link time gets down to something like
30 seconds now. You still use the "real" linker for your final build -- the
iLinker is for dev purposes only. (This is the tool they talked about at WWDC
92).
 
I hope I have told the story correctly.
