No, there's no way around it, because you don't have any rule which
tells you how to build just one object.  All you have is a rule which
tells you how to build "all" the objects, then you just pick the ones
which are really out of date.

You'll have to get used to touching one of the .c files rather than
deleting the .obj file.

Offhand I can't think of any reasonable way around it.
