Going way back upstream to the original test makefile:
-----
default: program_name
PROGRAM_NAME Program_Name program_name:
@echo 'Do something for $@.'

The thing is that these targets are not actually declared as phony so of
course they're treated as files. I'm surprised no one else mentioned it,
and the topic wandered off. What is the behavior when you add ".PHONY:
default PROGRAM_NAME Program_Name program_name"?
