It tested and tested for a couple of years :) With targeting of
real_sublibraries you'll obtain make that will build not all time namely
when bar depends on obj in F(bar) directory - foo doesn't know about such
change. It's just compares date of libbar.a with own one and decides do
nothing! While dependance on $(sublibraries) works well.
The key is $(sublibraries) is .PHONY depended.
On other hand if i simply would do $(real_sublibraries) to be .PHONY
depended then foo will rebuild always.
