Yes, but that's the exact problem that was tried to be solved AFAICS.
Otherwise, why Mark wrote ``make depend all'' and not ``make all''?
Of course, ``make obj && make all'' should work. Only in rare cases
``make depend'' is required for fresh builds, when the depend target
is abused (or {before|after}depend).

Right, but we are talking of a different case here. When some sources
are updated, the dependancies should be rebuilt first with ``make depend'',
and only then ``make all'' should be executed.
