I'm looking for clarification on what _should_ happen when you specify the same target(s) repeatedly on the command line. Background: while working on speeding up a particular build I've gotten in the habit of running something like:

    % time make -s clean all

Seems like a bad idea anyway, as you'll break parallel builds (unless "all" depends on "clean" .. which would make mentioning "clean" on the cmd line redundant anyways ..

(all makefiles these days really should be written to assume they'll be run with -j.. )
