Here's what I found in the manual:
We feel that it is cleaner for a rule without commands to always
simply add to the prerequisite list for the target.
IIRC, there's a bug in which this doesn't always happen (I think it's mentioned
in the multi-architecture paper at paulandlesley.org). Has a patch been
created to fix this bug?
Thanks,
Noel
