Directories change timestamp frequently. I tend to use "touch" files
instead:
%.T:: # don't go searching further down
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -p $(@D); touch $@
%.foo: %.T
rule to make foo
I use touch files in other circumstances as well -- you sometimes want
the timestamp to be measured at the beginning of a long process,
instead of at the end.
