You're the first, as far as I know.
My very high-level advice is: _relax_. I'm confident that there's
a tiny, simple, yet clever solution. It's a puzzle. Have fun.
You loose 1/10th of a karma-point in the grand

You get a free-pass though, for using features of GNU make, on the
score-sheet-that-nobody-cares-about.
