Details

mkdir_deps generated dependencies will be considered an intermediate file and removed when used as a pre-requisite for a wildcard target.

Add ".PRECIOUS: %/.mkdir.done" within config/makefiles/autotargets.mk to inhibit the behavior.  Problem surfaced while compiling idl files { toolkit/components/alerts }.

libalerts_s.a may also suffer from a similar problem:
nsAlertsService.cpp
/usr/bin/ccache c++ -o nsAlertsService.o [...]
rm -f libalerts_s.a
