rebuilt is the same order in which make processed them, and this is defined
to be true in the GNU make manual.
* WARNING: New build requirement
GNU make utilizes facilities from GNU Gnulib: Gnulib requires certain C99
features in the C compiler and so these features are required by GNU make:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/C99-features-assumed.html
The configure script should verify the compiler has these features.
* GNU Make can now be built for MS-Windows using the Tiny C tcc compiler.
