Stranger still, the rule for all is never triggered so the makefile has no output whatsoever.
This behaviour persists even if an order rule is used:
# GNUmakefile -include foo.mk
.PHONY: all all: | foo.mk @echo $(@)
$ gmake $

I have the following makefile:
-include foo.mk
.PHONY: all all: foo.mk @echo all
Since there's no rule to create foo.mk, I'd expect the build to fail since all is dependent on foo.mk, but it seems that the -include turns off this error. Is this a bug?
Thanks, Noel
PS
This throws a kink into the "delayed error message" workaround for "include" that I had proposed.
