Yep, it is a problem, and it gets larger the more auto-generated
headers you have.
I agree it would be nice to say "build these files before doing
anything else". That's sort of a pain with make. One idea would be
to introduce an "all-hook" which would be run before "all". This
solves the common problem, but not the full one (what if the user runs
"make some-executable"?).
