Follow-up Comment #1, bug #16958 (project make):
Prerequisites of the .PHONY special target are marked as targets because they
are effectively targets. For example, if you have an empty Makefile and say
$ make all
you get:
make: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.
If, however, you have this in your makefile
.PHONY: all
then there is no problem building all. Both 3.80 and 3.81 print
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
I am not saying that we shouldn't fix this regression. I am saying that I
believe the code I added is correct and the problem is elsewhere (most likely
in the code that decides whether to use commands from .DEFAULT or not).
