No, not OK!
You don't want to specify that the .c file depends on the .h file. You
don't update the .c file when the .h file changes: you have no rule for
that.
It's the .o file that depends on the .h file: the .o file is the file
that needs to be updated when either the .c _or_ the .h file changes.
Change your rule definition from:
x.c: x.h \
perf.h \
...
autotest.h ;
to:
x.o: x.h \
perf.h \
...
autotest.h
(note you must remove the trailing semicolon as well!)
