In our case we have most of the processes that are run by make tee their output into a project log directory. Then the make rules can use the log file itself as the dependency for the target. Works great in a lot of cases, and, you get the added benefit of being able to easily go back and observe previous process output and compare it across projects.

Oh wow, I can’t believe I’ve never thought of that. Simple and useful and a bit more elegant than having a phone output file that I manually `touch`.
