Jom does not read dependencies in make file correctly

If a Makefile has dependencies that are also targets elsewhere in the Makefile, Jom will seem to ignore those rules and still build in its own order. I'm trying to do something similar to here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15864689/qmake-pre-build-step-before-any-compilation

I would expect that the dependency of versioning.h would be built before the main target, it works when using both make and nmake. However, jom will throw an error that versioning.h does not exist. If versioning.h does exist it updates the header file after the build stage and before the moc stage if necessary, otherwise just before the linker stage. This is too late, and this also happens when using /J1. I even tried manually editing the makefile for consistency with forward/backward slashes in the directory separators to no avail.
