Did you try making this new 'unidata' rule be more similar to the
other 2 rules, in src/Makefile.in, which do the same?  IOW, instead of
a phony "unidata" target, use one of the targets that those other
rules use, which are real files.  Then I hope Make will pay attention
that one such rule is already running, and won't launch another one to
do the same.
