How about this:

all: c1 c2 c3

c1:
        cmd1

c2:
        -cmd2

c3:
        cmd3
This would work but would also require:

.PHONY: c1 c2 c3
.NOTPARALLEL:

and is generally less useful than the previous solution. The ordering
is also unlear to a non-make-expert.

Something else that occurred to me after I hit "send" is that parallel make would have a problem with my suggestion too. When not using -j the order is as specified in the list of dependencies, but with -j, dependencies that are not related to each other are considered parallelizable.
