Here's my current way.  Hack to suit.  Note the use of sysall.h,
my compendium of includes that I won't be changing much.

PREDIR=RAM:
JUNKDIR=RAM:
PRE=foo.pre

CFLAGS=+I$(PREDIR)$(PRE)
LFLAGS=-lc

# this might be what the default does, hence unecessary
.c.o:
	cc $(CFLAGS) -o $*.o $*.c

# a file filled with includes and nothing else
PRESRC=sysall.h

# this line get p.pre copied to ram before foo is made
all: $(PREDIR)$(PRE) foo

foo: foo.o
	ln foo.o $(LFLAGS) -o $@

#this stuff hangs out at the bottom of all my makefiles
# here is the copying action itself
$(PREDIR)$(PRE): $(PRE)
	copy $(PRE) $(PREDIR)

# and the building of the .pre
$(PRE): $(PRESRC)
	cc -A -o $(JUNKDIR)pre_garbage.asm +H$(PRE) $(PRESRC)
