I had the problem with ANTLR which is a parser-generator and generates  
multiple files.

I ended up with a solution a la:

    grammar.cpp: grammar.g
        antlr …
    lexer.cpp: grammar.cpp
        touch $@

Here antlr generates both grammar.cpp + lexer.cpp, but as far as make  
knows, lexer.cpp is generated from grammar.cpp which is what depends  
on grammar.g.
