Follow-up Comment #7, bug #42125 (project make): Regarding comment #5: Thanks for contemplating my suggestion! Indeed I paid insufficient attention to the implications of allowing some other pattern rule to be chosen, and I see that this is undesirable and that the static pattern rule shall be statically chosen for the specified targets. What I consider unfortunate is that the construct in the original submission does not work - because (and that's _why_ I'd like _static pattern rules to be considered pattern rules_, in a sense) I'd need exactly the targeted selection of the recipe (making sure that no other rule is chosen) combined with this characteristic of _pattern rules_ from section 10.5.1: _If a pattern rule has multiple targets, "make" knows that the rule’s recipe is responsible for making all of the targets. The recipe is executed only once to make all the targets._
