The GNU make documentation claims that $< is the name of the first dependency.
This is not complatible with the POSIX standard which defines $< to be the
name of the implicit source that caused an iplicit rule inference rule)
to be chosen.
Now, if GNU tar would be at least compliant to it's own documentation.....
test: x1
test: x2
echo $<
prints x2 and not x1.
Please try to prove your claims again......
