Hmmm... Usually 'make depend' generates a dependency Makefile, which
is .included'ed into the main Makefile on subsequent runs. That means
that
make depend ; make all
has a different effect to:
make depend all
Unless make(1) has been taught to keep tabs on it's included Makefiles
and knows how to re-load them if their modification time changes. As
I understood it, that was a trick that gmake(1) could do but that BSD
make couldn't.
Cheers,
Matthew
