Doesn't that mean that if mlguestfs.cmxa is out of date, simply
running the mlguestfs.cma rule will build it (which it won't)?
Not sure if I understand you.
If I cause mlguestfs.cmxa to be out of date by touching guestfs.cmx,
only mlguestfs.cmxa will be rebuilt.
If I cause mlguestfs.cma to be out of date by touching guestfs.cmo, both
mlguestfs.cma and mlguestfs.cmxa will be rebuilt. This could be fixed by
using an order-only prerequisite:
mlguestfs.cmxa: | mlguestfs.cma
