This depends on whether .ONESHELL applies to all the rules or only those
that were defined after .ONESHELL has been seen. It seems the only thing 
SUS says about this feature is this sentence:

"It is suggested that the special target .ONESHELL be used as an 
 implementation extension to achieve the single-shell grouping for 
 a target or group of targets."

So I guess it can be implemented either way and still be "conforming".
