I was mostly thinking that some step or other in the Makefile has a
dependency on that file, and some other step creates it, but the
dependency's not explicit. I'd like to find the step(s) that require it
and make it a dependency for them, then add in a dependency for the file
for whatever step actually creates it, so things get ordered properly. It
should (hopefully) be straightforward, but...
