But your commands don't (well, your command doesn't) build two files;
it builds only one.  Naturally make has to run it again for the other.

Try, instead,

a.c b.c:
        echo 'int foo;' > a.c
        echo 'int foo;' > b.c

You'll find - well, I find, at least - that it runs the command set
only once.
