I think there's a dependency loop, so no matter how many times
you makeall, something gets made:

	stub.h depends on djasm.exe
	djasm.exe depends on libc.a
	libc.a depends on crt0.o
	crt0.o depends on stub.h

As for reorganizing the build, I'll accept changes provided the solve
the following needs:

1. Build everything from scratch in one command.

2. Allow the user to specify a development environment elsewhere
   for the first pass (build against itself by default)

3. Allow for cross-compilation under any Unix (provided the user has
   the tools)

4. Depends only on djgpp.
