There must be more going on here that hasn't been shown.  I can't see
offhand anything that would cause this behavior, and I can't reproduce
it myself using a similar setup.

Perhaps you could create a simpler test case that showed the problem
you're having: if you can then we can examine it, and if you can't then
you know there's something else happening beyond the obvious.  I
recommend using the -n option (to see what make is actually invoking)
and the -d option (to see what it's doing).
