I would add the above - since it is correct for all versions of make.

The .WAIT (in netbsd's make) is more powerful than the above since it
forces a dependency against all the pre-requisits of all the items that
follow. In this is case it is equivalent, but consider also having:

all: nbcompat/nbconfig.h .WAIT foo

foo: $(OBJS)

Here the .WAIT forces nbcompat/nbconfig.h be built before any of the
$(OBJS) - which no dependency against 'foo' can generate.
