Because of the excerpt from the manual which started the thread which
led to this one? See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-make/2010-09/msg00086.html
where this verbiage (from "Search Algorithm") was quoted:
a. If the target does not need to be rebuilt, the path to the file
found during directory search is used for any prerequisite
lists which contain this target. In short, if make doesn’t
need to rebuild the target then you use the path found via
directory search.
This seems to fit the use case, because the prerequisite list of all5
includes preq1, which was found through vpath.
