Follow-up Comment #2, bug #30381 (project make):
Actually my example is solved by your suggestion to use a stack of targets.
However, if you imagine a pattern rule where every iteration of the rule
_grows_, instead of shrinks, then a stack of targets wouldn't help. What
about:
%.x : %.x.x ; cat $< > $@
In this case every time we iterate we have a new target.
A maximum recursion would solve it. I'm not sure how difficult it would be
to implement though, and I'm not sure we have a strong use-case for it. If
you can define the number of iterations then it should be possible to define
targets in your makefile to "fix" the problem... no?
