Dear GNU make maintainers,

This seems like a bug, can someone pleas

Is there a method by which the existence of targets matching a certain pattern
can be deduced? For example, is there any way to collect the list targets which
end in '.h' or '.hh', such that an order only pattern rule could be applied to
force execution of any rules wh
