It could very well be timestamp issue, especially if you are editing
files on the network file system.
Try
gnumake -dd
Log should provide some additional details while rule was skipped.

It also can be a timestamp issue, but only if the updated file has a
modification time older...it might be trivial... but the if system
time is behind it can cause this issue..

I'm doing a build and get a compilation error in foo.cpp, so I fix

I have to do a clean and then re-build to get past this.
This is building hotspot on linux and the make version is 3.81
This is driving me nuts and wasting a lot of time!
Anyone got any idea why make is doing this? It is as-if it can't
find the updated cpp file. Could it be a timestamp issue?
Thanks,
