Thanks for fixing these issues so quickly.  I have tried this change and it behaves reasonably well.  It no longer aborts prematurely (at least I have not seen an instance of it yet) and it seems to properly handle the dependency order.  I do have a couple of issues that yet remain.  I have one instance of a generated C file that depends on a generated header file and for some reason the dependency does not work.  I am still investigating this issue since it was present before your changes and may just be something I am doing wrong.  The second issue is that when I do a build immediately after a full build has completed (i.e. w/o any additional changes), I would expect everything being up to date.  Instead, there are a hand full of C files (always the same ones and not generated ones) that are always rebuilt. This behavior is consistent across all my builds and never converges.  I will try to come up with a scaled down example of this for you.
