Hm.  I should have made clear that this isn't specific to gram.o ---
I also tried "rm analyze.o" and that didn't trigger any action either.
So it doesn't seem to be a case of the bison rule chain being
specifically at fault.

I do suspect that this was triggered by some fairly recent makefile
change, though, because I don't recall having seen anything as odd
as this until recently.
