I thought the behavior I have seen is it's always in the order that the targets are specified. So if you have: all: A B Then if both need a rebuild A is always first, except when -j breaks that. But I can't say I have played close attention to every time I have typed make.

Ah right, but that's just a lucky coincidence. Make is perfectly within its rights to randomise the order of A and B even if you don't specify `-j`. And if you're driving Make from some other system, e.g. CMake, you really have no idea what order stuff is going to end up in the makefiles anyway.
