I guess, no. AFAIS, this makefile carries deps on directories.

This is a very old known general limitation of and portability isse with 
make and one of known "donts".

  "Deps on dirs" work on local Linux file systems, but doesn't work on 
linux nfs and is known to not have worked with local files systems on
