(I know from experience that you have to tell make about when you update targets that make knows about but I can't quote from the manual to support that de jure. (And I believe that the only way you can safely update multiple targets from a single rule is if it's a Pattern Rule but not a Static Pattern Rule.) I was rather hoping I'd provoke a more authoritative response from one of the real gurus but perhaps the warnocking should be taken as agreement.)

So I think it is Makefile.in from GNU Automake that need modified for the expected behavior. I'll write to Automake's mailing list.
