I could quickly lay my hands on what looks like a handful:
./subrules.make:384:$(SOFTWARE)$(PROJPATH)/%: %;
./subrules.make:392:$(FLEX_GEN_CPP): %.gen.cpp: generated/regenerated.%
./subrules.make:393

Hello,
Order of static pattern rules is significant while IMHO it should not be.
Observe the following (below): the same rules are written in
reverse order for foo and bar, and the automatic variable $* has not the
same value in the two recipes:
jupiter% cat Makefile
OBJfoo := foo100.z1
OBJbar
