By the way, this information is not necessarily correct. While this is common
because sub-directory traversal is often done via a script fragment, there is
no requirement that sub-directories be processed sequentially. I have seen
parallel makes (even GNU make) process multiple subdirectories at a time.
If you want to ensure a particular ordering, add dependencies to your makefile
to ensure that ordering.
