Heh. For some reason your second email didn't show up for a while after the first. Anyway, I don't really understand the order-only prereq issue you are positing. Maybe you can reply focused solely on that issue. However, OO prerequisites are treated _EXACTLY_ like any other prerequisite. They are considered, ordered, and rebuilt the same way. The only difference is that after all prerequisites (normal and OO) are completed, when make is checking to see if any prerequisites are newer than the target, the OO prerequisites are ignored during that check. That's the only difference.
