You have commit messages with errors ⧗ input: Create $(BUILDDIR) with the targets which need the directory Without this patch the creation of $(BUILDDIR) is triggered unrelated by the all target. This only works if all's prerequisites are processed left to right in sequential order. Running the Makefile under make 4.4 (or higher) in --shuffle mode reveals the incorrect dependency by failing to generate $(BUILDDIR)/vpnc, $(BUILDDIR)/cisco-decrypt or $(BUILDDIR)/test-crypto due to the missing directory. The wrong dependency becomes visible as well, moving $(BUILDDIR) to the end of all's prerequisites list.
