(Make version 3.79.) Consider:
% cat Makefile
%.1: %.2
cp $< $@
%.2: %.3
cp $< $@
.SECONDARY:
% ls
Makefile foo.3
% make foo.1
cp foo.3 foo.2
cp foo.2 foo.1
rm foo.2
According to the documentation, the .SECONDARY target should cause all

# Not a target:
sub/foo.1: sub/foo.src
# Command-line target.
# Implicit rule search has bee
