For GNU make 3.80 or newer, you can use order-only dependencies, roughly like $(all_other_logs): | test-stat-time.log test-malloca.log Just ordering the build of some huge objects in GCC allowed to shave 30% build time off a parallel build: <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-03/msg01888.html> Hmm, where to take the time to merge check.mk into Automake ...
