Is this just so the rule doesn't get run again on the next make
invocation (unless, of course, a dependent changed)?
Interestingly, if any of the dependents have changed, but in ways that
don't affect .eldeps, this change will make the build more expensive
because it will trigger a make restart after .eldeps is updated.
