Gotcha.  Based on that, my guess is that you indented the assignments
with a tab.  The make rules say that any line that starts with a tab
is part of the commands section for the previous target, so that would
result in the HIDE assignments being commands for the 'all' target,
which would explain the behavior you're seeing.
