Working in multiple jobs is generally preferred -- this lets make split the work across multiple cores, meaning, lets it do more at once. If you actually have multiple cores, you may find it faster to let it continue this way and run make -j2, or -j4 etc.
On the other hand there is a macro for "dependencies more recent than the target": $? So this could do it:
Note that the eight spaces in front of tool there must actually be a tab for this rule to work.

soundconverter
SOUNDCONVERTER(1) GNOME User's Manual SOUNDCONVERTER(1)NAME
soundconverter - convert sound files to other formats
SYNOPSIS
soundconverter [options] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
soundconverter is a simple tool for converting sound files to other formats. It can work from the command line, but is really meant for
interactive use in the GNOME environment.
OPTIONS -h, --help
Print out a usage summary.
-b, --batch
Convert in batch mode, from command line, without a graphical user interface. You can use this from, say, shell scripts.
-m, --mime-type arg
Set the output MIME type for batch mode. The default is audio/x-vorbis. Note that you probably want to set the output suffix as
well.
-q, --quiet
Be quiet. Don't write normal output, only errors.
-d, --debug
Print additional debug information.
-s, --suffix arg
Set the output filename suffix for batch mode. The default is .ogg. Note that the suffix does not affect the output MIME type.
-t, --tags
Show tags for input files instead of converting them. This indicates command line batch mode and disables the graphical user inter-
face.
-j, --jobs=
Force number of concurent conversions. Default is one per present CPU.
