Oops, right. You'll need to actually list the .o files for the
directory there, as you can't use a pattern rule to just add to the
dependency lists for a set of files.
In the actual set of makefiles where I use an order-only dependency
with .tab.h files it looks something like this:
GEN_H_SRC += ${YACC_FILES:.y=.tab.h}
OBJ += ${YACC_FILES:.y=.tab.o}
# ...more stuff that may add to GEN_H_SRC and OBJ
${OBJ}: | ${GEN_H_SRC}
Thank you to Boris for catching that error in my example.
