# Strange GNU make behavior?
#
# Assume that:
# - there is a file real.c in the directory,
# - but there is no file fake.c in the directory
#
# Then make complains saying:
#
# make: *** No rule to make target `fake.c', needed by `fake.depend'.  Stop.
#
# But if we remove fake.c from the prerequisites of target dummy-fake, then
# everything works fine (fake.depend is ignored since we can't build it,
# which is what we wanted).
#
# This is odd, since the rule "dummy-fake: fake.c" isn't used at all
