I guess we should take this to private email?

Right, because at the top level make defines the order in which
things happen.  So you wind up with something more like:

LIB1FILES = x.o y.o z.o

LIB1FILES: $(LIB1FILES:.o=.c)
	make -f build_lib $(LIB1FILES)

LIB2FILES = x.o y.o z.o

LIB2FILES: $(LIB2FILES:.o=.c)
	make -f build_lib $(LIB2FILES)

[But since you haven't indicated that these will go into a separate
library, they'll obviously wind up going into the same library, so
why bothering to build them with a separate target?]
