	Well, it's 110 spots out of 171, but, however we want to do it.
Back in the day, a 'dependant' make was preferable to a 'make clean
all'. Sometimes it made more than an hour difference. Today, not so big
a deal.

BTW: the original error is caused by level1/dalpha/bootfiles/kernel
being 4098 bytes in size. padrom carps about it being more than the
4096 size requested and level1/dalpha/bootfiles/makefile fails. and so
does the os9 gen in level1/dalpha/makefile (like you posted).
