When you build an application, typically your application code is compiled, 
and RTEMS is treated as a library which gets linked in.

Are you perhaps confusing building your application and building RTEMS?
When you build your application, your makefile will link in librtems.a, 
libbsp.a, etc. and will have no way of knowing whether the source files for 
those libraries have been changed or not.
If you change the BSP, rebuild the RTEMS BSP, then rebuild your application 
once the RTEMS library files have been rebuilt.
