RE: how to allow multiple empty commands?

[Mark Galeck (CW)]

Yes, the same thing here, no matter .\foobar, ./foobar, or .foobar, I always 
see the warnings.  Now I guess technically, the manual is right in the sense 
that  these are "warnings" not errors that are printed.  But nevertheless, this 
is the same printout, error or warning, that happens with or without the 
leading dot, when double rule is used.  It would be nice if this thing worked, 
for then one could always just prepend with ./

special case referred to a name like '.foobar'. However, this:
  eraseme.make:5: warning: overriding commands for target `.foobar'
  eraseme.make:2: warning: ignoring old commands for target `.foobar'
  two
is what I see when I run the following makefile, so maybe I guessed wrong.

.foobar:
        echo one

.foobar:
        echo two

.PHONY: all
all: .foobar
