... but I think we're missing some more dependencies, because if I
remove everything (beyond make clean), then a "make -j8 world-bin"
fails, per Cirrus.

With that, I'm going to set this aside for the time being. If somebody
wants to play with these Makefile rules, be my guest. It sounds like
there's some compile time gains to be had, but it may require some
fiddling and it's not clear to me if the move to Meson is going to make
this moot.

Running it locally, I get this:
