The only straight forward solution I've found is to
have stamp file dependencies:
GEN_LIST = foo.h bar.h baz.h
$(GEN_LIST) : gen-stamp
gen-stamp : <predecessor-list>
<generator-command> && touch $@
Despite the fact that multiple file output is my specialty
(as some will attest ;-), I haven't found special purpose
rules to be an inconvenience. i.e., I don't miss suffix rules
for this purpose. This also solves the parallelism problem.
