_______________________________________________________
Details:
A file that has been created by a program that has more than one output file
is not handled correctly by gmake.
Depending on how the rules are written, either the program is run twice or a
depending rule that needs the created file incorrectly complains that the file
does not exist.
gmake should check for the time stamp of a file whenever it actually needs the
file and believes it does not exist or is outdated.
