[PATCH v2 5/6] Makefile: Order the top-level stamp files before the subdirectory fan-out

The archive rules in Makerules list every stamp file as a prerequisite,
including the top level's own, and the elf sub-make evaluates them to
build libc_pic.a for the librtld.map link. A sub-make can only create
the stamp files of its own directory, so when the top-level ones do not
exist yet it fails with:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target '.../stamp.os', needed by
'.../libc_pic.a'. Stop.
The serial recursion created them before the subdirectories through the
prerequisite order of subdir_lib; the parallel recursion (commit
7cac99621e96) does not. Add them as prerequisites of the object-building
per-subdirectory targets.
