Follow-up Comment #3, bug #61226 (project make):
i agree, this is a special case.
imo, empty vs not empty is okay for make to consider, given that make manual
documents this special behavior when the recipe or prerequisites are empty and
the file is missing.
This is in sharp contract with the other case, when there is a recipe and the
recipe fails to create the file. imo, it is correct for make to fail that
case.
Would it be acceptable if we could retain the previous fix and allow for this
special case?
