I set it up that way to try to maintain the existing behavior I saw with the configure system, where any make at all would cause buildmark.c to get rebuilt. I guess that as long as there's no reason to build httpd, we might as well not rebuild buildmark.c. I can understand the intent of recording when the last make command was run, though. If someone likes the current behavior, please speak up. With automake, I knew how to fix this. I don't know how to fix it in the current build system, though.
