No, I for one don't have a crystal ball. ;-)

Yes.  You need to show us the Makefile.am's involved (and maybe we'll
ask for more files later), or a reduced test case that still exposes
this.  Which make implementation and version?  Which automake version
was used?  Did configure enable dependency tracking?  If yes, which
type?  Which compiler was used?

Maybe you can debug the second `make' call and find out why it thinks
rebuilding is necessary (many make implementations have flags to output
debug information)?

Cheers,
Ralf
