Description
Bug report
Bug description:
This Makefile fixes an issue in the cpython. Specifically, previously, any modifications of files like Modules/expat/*.c would not trigger a rebuild of Modules/expat/xmltok.o
Makefile_fixed.zip
. The Makefile fixes this by including them as additional dependencies.
CPython versions tested on:
CPython main branch

Research direction
Start with the CPython Makefile and the dependency rules for Modules/expat/xmltok.o. Compare them with the attached Makefile_fixed.zip and verify that modifying files under Modules/expat/*.c triggers a rebuild of xmltok.o. The linked PRs indicate that this work has already moved elsewhere.
