Ok, I have (assuming I understood your request).

Wasn't there a fixed suggested for this?  Something like:


mmxtest: obj/mingw32/mmx.h

obj/mingw32/mmx.h:
	cd obj
	cd mingw32
	echo \#define ALLEGRO_MMX > mmx.h
	echo #define ALLEGRO_MMX > mmx.h


(I'm guessing)  I forget if mingw32 make reverts to the original
directory after each line.
