Since the sslfiles target is its own little island in the dependency
graph (it doesn't need anything from Makefile.global), would it be
acceptable to just move it to a standalone sslfiles.mk that the
Makefile defers to? E.g.
sslfiles:
$(MAKE) -f sslfiles.mk
Then we wouldn't have to touch Makefile.global at all, because
sslfiles.mk wouldn't need to include it. This also reduces .NOTPARALLEL
pollution as a bonus.
