The simple answer is don't link them. Are they linked for a reason?
If you were to build a makefile yourself, you would have to run make in all the referenced project yourself (read about recursive makes) just as Eclipse does. Eclipse depends on the way make is supposed to work. How should Eclipse determine if a build is needed until it runs make? Are you suggesting that Eclipse should duplicate what make does in whole or in part (and incur all the problems associated with adding bells and whistles) merely to avoid unnecessarily running it?
As you've said, it does no harm. The first rule in engineering (and programming is a type of engineering) is: if it ain't broke; don't fix it.
