Hello,

I would like to have this:

foobar:;
foobar:;

and make not complain about it (of course this is a SSCCE so please don't ask  
"why do you need this").

Is there a way to do this?  My attempts are below:

First, I thought I would do

.\foobar:;
.\foobar:;

since there is an obscure rule mentioned in the manual, that says in case of 
multiple commands for files starting with a ".", make would not complain.  But 
it still does !  why is the rule not followed??

OK, if this does not work, then maybe I should do:

foobar::;
foobar::;

but this seems not so great, because it seems from the manual, that make would 
actually go around and execute all these empty commands (you realize that I 
have thousands of them in the realistic example, and thousands of such targets, 
so the speed matters, I think).  Would it?

Thank you,

Mark
