That sounds like the standard, documented, make behavior: If a file is
never mentioned by its complete name in any rule and it doesn't
already exist, make will deem it an "intermediate file" that you don't
really want to have lying around between makes.
Look at the node "Chained Rules" in the make manual, or search for the
description ".PRECIOUS" pseudo-target.

By the way, this looks like a really roundabout way of doing something
that could be accomplished just by saying
all : cvs_update TlWsPPFend TlWsPPDaemon
.PHONY: cvs_update
cvs_update:
cvs update
Or am I missing something?
