target.obj: target.c include1.h include2.h cc.exe
     cc target.c

and you either have to pray that you have kept the list of .h 
files that are mentioned inside target.c and other .h files 
referenced recursively from within these .h files etc. I listed 
the compiler as a dependency too, and I should really have a 
pseudo-target somehow that depends on the nature of the command 
line because changing the command line affects the generated 
code. If you have an automaking compiler that will generate the 
list of .h files then that’s so, so much safer.
