Isn't the order irrelevant here since derived won't be evaluated until
it's used?

Um, the gmake manual calls this "expanded when read, except for the shell
commands in rules, the right-hand sides of variable definitions using
`=', and the bodies of variable definitions using the `define'
directive".
