Whoops, no I'm wrong.
The thing about order-only is it applies only to the top-level targets:
all: foo | bar
foo: baz biz
bar: boz booz
Here, foo will not be run until after "bar" is done. BUT, biz, baz,
boz, and booz can still all be run in parallel.
I think the goal of this:
all: foo .WAIT bar
foo: baz biz
bar: boz booz
would be that neither foo NOR any of its prerequisites would be built
until bar and all if its prerequisites were finished.
