The last of these seems the correct fix.  A minimal change would be
something like
 submake-backend:
+    $(MAKE) -C $(top_builddir)/src/backend $(top_builddir)/src/include/parser/gram.h     $(MAKE) -C
$(top_builddir)/src/backend/parserkeywords.o
 

(in at least three different Makefiles: pg_dump, psql, scripts).  But I
can't help feeling that some Makefile-refactoring seems called for here.
Peter, what do you think?
