Details:
The idea is not to evaluate prerequisites of target not being make goals. Such
approach would improve non-recursive make performance by skipping unnecessary
wildcard/shell calls for targets not being build.
E.g. the following Makefile would output only:
A prerequisites evaluated
all: a
a: $(info A prerequisites evaluated)
b: $(info B prerequisites evaluated)
.PHONY: a b all
This could be handled in a way similar to .SECONDEXPANSION not to cause
compatibility issues in cases where prerequisites expansions causes side
effects. However greater care may be needed to support eval.
