No, because move-if-change would remove gl-stamp, and the time stamp of the
resulting globals.h would be older than the current time. Neither objection is
fatal, but other things being equal it's typically better for ordinary 'make'
actions to not remove files named as Makefile targets, and to have these files'
time stamps be when the files were created.
