I think, the problem isn't the multiple dependency on buildwhatever.

Make is clever enough to sort this out. The problem is that there exists
multiple "build paths" to targets like transports/transports.a, … one
path via the phony buildtransports target, and the other one via the
direct "transports/transports.a" target.

Yes, but this rises the question what for these targets are at all. To
avoid this question, I've left them in place for the allexim target. :)
