I'm not familiar with source code of make, but I believe the "serial
order" of shells is determined by the dependence DAG,  it may be
unique for a given dependence DAG.

Shells can be issued and completed at random order(only need
satisfying the dependence relation). But make can print their outputs
strictly in their "serial order".
