gmake 3.79 on SunOS

[Inna Gauskin]

Hi,

My problem is the following :

We have a two-level rule for creation of objects from the .c files

%.o : %.c
        @echo "USER  $(RM_OLD_OBJECT) ;$(subst ",\", $(CC_CMD)) $*.c Compiling 
c"   >>$(CCWPA)/$(CCBB)/deb_files

$(CCMPA)/$(CCBB)/%.o : %.c
      @echo "MASTER  $(subst ",\", $(CC_CMD)) $*.c Compiling c"   
>>$(CCWPA)/$(CCBB)/deb_files

Where in the second rule it's supposed to look for the .o in the path of the 
master ($(CCMPA)/$(CCBB)). 

In most cases (HP , 3.77 version of gmake) , the object is built according to 
the first rule if it (the object) doesn't exist in the local path, regardless 
of the second rule.

The problem is on Sun 3.79 gmake version. In these cases, if the local object 
doesn't exist, but the object of the master (the second rule) is newer than the 
local source, nothing is being built. If the master object is older than the 
local source, the local object is created.

Thanks in advance.
