Looks like a bug with the makefiles.  They should be aout.  The problem
is that a target is empty, but this doesn't seem to actually cause make
to error, it just keeps going.

I've a fix for it, but I need to get it reviewed etc before checking in
and a pull up requested.

I'll raise a PR to track this.

Thanks,
