.PHONY is not just a GNU make thing anyway; I know dmake uses it (we use
it in the MacPerl Makefile, which uses dmake), so that makes it even
less likely. There are also multiple .PHONY declarations in perl's
Makefile.SH already, including one for the "install" target, so I
imagine it is used on other *make, too. From my generated Makefile on
Linux:
.PHONY: install install-strip install-all install-verbose install-silent
\
no-install install.perl install.man install.html
So I dunno what the deal is ... maybe the problem is that .PHONY is a
no-op on Mac OS X's make?
