These prerequisites are GNU Make terminology. This change forces the libc rule to be executed first so that the headers that the libm rule needs are available. The original setup was using 'normal' prerequisites which occasionally resulted in bizarre build breakage, especially on multi-core build hosts. Seen often on my 8-way SMP build host. Note that this doesn't impede parallelisation of each rule indepent of the other. It just serializes the rules themselves. This fixes: https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/relibc/issues/127
relibc 
relibc is a portable POSIX C standard library written in Rust. It is under heavy development, and currently supports Redox and Linux.
The motivation for this project is twofold: Reduce issues the redox crew was having with newlib, and create a safer alternative to a C standard library written in C. It is mainly designed to be used under redox, as an alternative to newlib, but it also supports linux syscalls via the sc crate.
Contributing
Just search for any invocation of the unimplemented macro, and hop in! The ci server checks builds for linux and redox, checks formatting (via rustfmt), and runs the test suite. Run ci.sh locally to check that your changes will pass travis. Use fmt.sh to format your code and make test to run the C test suite.
