disclaimer: I have never used this.....

In the QUSRTOOL library there is a MAKE utility.  below is a snip...

<snip>
The TMKMAKE command is the AS/400 implementation of the MAKE tool which
maintains up-to-date versions of programs consisting of multiple parts.
The TMKMAKE command reads a user-supplied description file, which
describes the rules, part dependencies and commands to be executed
for the parts being maintained.  The TMKMAKE command verifies that all
targets specified are up-to-date.  If one or more of the dependants have
been modified since the target was last updated, the commands associated
with the target rule are invoked.  A target file which is not found is
considered out-of-date.
The TMKMAKE command supports the following features:  macro definition
and substitution, include and conditional directive processing,
built-in rules definition, suffix transformation, Extended Program Model
(EPM) LIBFILE and System C/400 TXTLIB library maintenance, Integrated
Language Environment (ILE) programming model, ILE binding directories,
and recursive processing.
