+Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: fix parallel build failure
+
+At the moment parallel build fails due to 2 causes:
+1) parsetime.l tries to include incomplete y.tab.h, since y.tab.h is the
+result of yacc -d parsetime.y
+2) when compiling y.tab.c, y.tab.c itself is not complete, since it is
+the result of yacc -d parsetime.y
+
+So fix it by:
+1) making parsetime.l to wait for y.tab.h to be created by yacc
+2) waiting for y.tab.c and y.tab.h to be created before compile them
+
