I'm not really sure if this falls in the same category, but the rule base is a pattern rule... it seems that something like
%.o:%.c | $(intermdiate_path)
intermediate_path is no longer order only, it is instead a valid rule, and that being a directory means it's often newer then the .o in certain filesystems.
in my make 3.80 under linux, $| doesn't have anything, $< is just the .c source file, other things have the intermediate path, but nothing indicates order only, as it would if the order only dependant was specified on a non-pattern rule...
If you simply touch $(intermediate_path), do all the .o's get rebuilt?
Absolutely...
all: junk.test
$.test:%.c | thing
touch $@junk.c thing:
touch $@make... (touches thing and junk.c to create them) then after every touch of 'thing' junk.test is touched.
