Another possible option is to make the "all" target depend on 
GENERATED_HEADERS and GENERATED_SOURCES, like

all: $(GENERATED_HEADERS) $(GENERATED_SOURCES)
        @$(MAKE) build-all

and drop the dependency everywhere else.  This will check the dependency 
at the beginning of the build (should be fine since the generated files 
change rarely) and rely on automatic dependency generation for the 
.o->.h dependencies.
