Details:
There are some side effects associated with intermediate/secondary targets
that aren't documented in any real detail in the documentation.
The documentation for .SECONDARY gives the impression you can use .SECONDARY
to disable automatic deletion of intermediate targets, but doing so causes a
number of side effects that produce unpredictable behavior in a build.
Unfortunately, I do not have a concise or publishable example demonstrating
the problem; however, I outlined it on this thread:
