Hi,

This has been reported by a debian user.
In some cases, GNU make ignores some double-colon rules when dry-run.
Assumed this Makefile is given
all: foo.1 foo.2
foo.1:
touch foo.1
foo.2:
touch foo.2
install.man:: foo.1
@echo install foo.1
install.man:: foo.2
@echo install foo.2
install.man::
@echo install done
I've got the following results
% make
touch foo.1
touch foo.2
% make -n install.man
echo install foo.1
echo install done
I expect "echo install foo.2", but make dry-run shows not to
run "install foo.2".
However, if I run make actually
% make install.man
install foo.1
install foo.2
install done
"install foo.2" is executed. Is this an intentional behavior or a bug
of GNU make?
Note that pmake run as I expected
% pmake -n install.man
echo install foo.1
echo install foo.2
echo install done
% pmake install.man
install foo.1
install foo.2
install done
I know if I add ".PHONY: install.man" to Makefile, GNU make works as
well, but I experienced this by Makefile generated by xmkmf so that no
PHONY target was defined.
