Hmm.  Are you sure they are duplicate?  Even if make executes the
following in parallel?  Conversely: how should make ever be able
to know for certain?

all: T symlink aa/../T
T:
        @echo $@
aa/../T:
        @echo $@
symlink:
        -rmdir aa
        mkdir sub sub/sub
        ln -s sub/sub aa

Cheers,
