Follow-up Comment #3, bug #40657 (project make):

I guess I'm not quite sure what you're asking for here: what kind of
diagnostic do you mean?

In general I don't like to emit diagnostics for things which are actually
legal and defined makefile syntax, even if they're unlikely to be what the
author actually wanted.

The problem is that the POSIX standard is very clear that a suffix (inference
rule) cannot have any prerequisites so GNU make's behavior (now) is correct
according to the standard.
