Details:
Special built-in target names
<https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Special-Targets.html> are
provided by the make software. Some of them have got special consequences on
the handling of prerequisites and targets.
* .PHONY
* .SUFFIXES
* .INTERMEDIATE
* .SECONDEXPANSION
Such names provide an interface for the specification of additional software
build properties which did not fit into traditional syntax for make rules.
I imagine that it can also become useful to specify desired extra build
settings in front of each rule directly without repeating (special) target
names.
How do you think about to add such a possibility?
