One straightforward way to do this, at the cost of a recursive
invocation of make, is something like:
all: main-real
main:
@$(MAKE) -o libraries main-real
main-real: <real "main" target stuff>
libraries: <libraries target stuff>
It needs a little work to get the rebuild stuff down (when to rebuild
and when not to).
