If you're not concerned with build optimization,
this can be disabled - but pretty much any sub-make for which there is a
.meta file will be out-of-date by any changed to *.mk

I'm not sure how easy it is to accomplish that situation.

Actually given you have missing-meta=yes
target dep would be remade, either because there is no .meta file, or
because its commands changed.
Thus notmade should be.
