Oh, I see what you're saying.
This doesn't work because it's not the same as the built in rule. You
can only cancel a rule by using the _same_ target and prerequisite
pattern(s) as were used to define the rule.
In this case, the pattern used to define the rule (use make -pf/dev/null
to see the complete list of built in rules) is:
%.c : %.w %.ch
So you have to use exactly that pattern to get rid of it, not "% :: %.w".
