Are you sure they are really not run?  That is, are they missing from
the output of "make -d"?  If the jobs to rebuild them _are_ in the
output of "make -d", perhaps something else is at work here?

Btw, I'm still confused as to why "make -d" says that the target `all'
(and therefore all the other ones) are considered several times (I
counted 8).  I cannot spot anything in the Makefile which would cause
that, but maybe I'm missing something Paul, can you suggest an
explanation?
