I have another solution, but as you already have found a solution which
works you might not want to use my way:
-8<---------------------------------
all: myprog
myprog: mysrc.c ../lib/mylib.a
gcc -o $@ $^
../lib/mylib.a: FORCE
cd ../lib && $(MAKE)
# Used to force some rules to always be compiled
FORCE: ;
-8<---------------------------------
The above Makefile doesn't know anything about how mylib.a is made.
Instead it allways calls another makefile who has the responsibility to
update mylib.a if needed.
Only if mysrc.c or mylib.a has been updated myprog will be rebuilt.
