Hi Paul, Thank you. Actually it was a VERBOSE mode message created by the previous package owner. I mistook it for GNU Make message. I was using GNU Make.
The message was like this: " MAKE_VERBOSE:Regenerating $@ because $? has changed." I managed to find the problem. One of the $? file was non-existent and causing the rule to run again.
