I'm not sure I understood exactly everything about your post but the rules for how things are remade are pretty simple and GNU Make has always worked like this: First all makefiles are parsed. Then all makefiles are checked for out of date-ness and all of them that are out of date, are rebuilt. Then if any makefiles were updated, make re-execs itself and starts over. -- Paul D.
