If you'd found the right part of the GNU make manual, you could be
assured that it's a feature :).
Although this:
x.1:
@echo $@
y.1:
@echo $@
is identical to this:
x.1 y.1:
@echo $@
, note that this:
ja> x.%:
ja> @echo $@
ja> y.%:
ja> @echo $@
and this:
ja> x.% y.%:
ja> @echo $@
are far from meaning the same thing.
Check the GNU make manual section "Introduction to Pattern Rules", the
paragraph starting "Pattern rules may have more than one target..."
HTH...
