No. We were previously relying on the implicit behavior of dmake to
evaluate dependencies in the specified order, but we were listing psm in
both sparc_ and i386_ subdirs to get the order correct.
Specifying the dependency makes that explicit, and will work correctly
even if SUBDIRS are built in parallel. But the rule for the stand
target will only be executed once.

In this case, none, really. In general, targets that don't correspond
to actual files will be rebuilt when they don't exist. So if you had
all: dep1
fu
installA: dep1
bar
installB: all
whee
and you did "make all," then a subsequent "make installA" would execute
only "bar," but a "make installB" would execute "fu" and "whee."
That's a longwinded way to say "trying to practice good makefile
hygiene, even when it doesn't actually make a difference."
