I have a makefile that contains nothing but a .PHONY target as follows:

.PHONY: a

If I try to build a target named 'b' then make tells me there are no rules
for that.

If I try to build a target named 'a' then make tells me that there is no
need to remake that target.

Is this implicit rule creation an intentional feature of make or just a bug?
