That's not so obvious.
The current behavior is expected by .SECONDARY. 
In other words, if I just 'touch rewriteDefine.c' then rewriteDefine.o will be 
rebuilt by make (as expected).

$ touch rewriteDefine.c 
$ make
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-
statement -Wendif-labels -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wformat-security -fno-
strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fexcess-precision=standard -I../../../src/include -
D_GNU_SOURCE   -c -o rewriteDefine.o rewriteDefine.c
touch objfiles.txt

It is maybe better to do a special case when you want to force rebuild, but in 
a more intuitive way than specifying each file you want to rebuild.

Like that ?!  :

====
diff --git a/src/Makefile.global.in b/src/Makefile.global.in
index 9cc14da..8597792 100644

$ rm rewriteDefine.o 
$ make
nothing to do ...
$ NOTSECONDARY=1  make
