That needs further investigation.

I know there are some rules in the Makefile (I can't name which from
the top of my head) that do surprising things they shouldn't -- they
are bugs from my point of view.  I found them the hard way, but
postponed fixiing them because they need more discussions, and I was
waiting for more appropriate time [when I have lot :-)]
