Summary: Improper Evaluation of Multiple Target rules with
Static Patterns

Severity: 3 - Normal
Follow-up Comment #1, bug #24164 (project make):
The line about rules with multiple targets are the same as multiple rules
doesn't apply to pattern rules. See section 10.5.1 of the documentation,
which states:
Pattern rules may have more than one target. Unlike normal rules, this does
not act
Follow-up Comment #2, bug #24164 (project make):
And furthermore, this is an extremely useful feature. Without it there is no
other way to express to 'make' a rule where a single recipe generates multiple
output files (and thus needs only be run once to generate them all.)
