Ok.

I did look at this, but I think it won't work.

The rule that runs make-docfile depends on the object files.  This won't
work here, since we need to create globals.h before doing any
compilation.

Also, make-docfile.c takes the .o file name and turns it into a .c or
.m, depending on what it finds in the source tree.  We need to do this
transformation in the Makefile to make the dependencies correct.
