Alan, you are absolutely right!! I missed this since the external makefile I need actually does have a dependency to create the makefile itself. So, the custom command only ran when the single explicit dependency was out of date. I can solve that some other way and I appreciate all your effort to straighten this out. I wish the document would have explicitly stated that the command always runs without a dependency, though that is the intuitive course of action.
