FWIW, i think it was first used in gnu make. I know it's not in the
old Feldman make or /usr/ccs/bin/make on solaris.

Curious. I just tried a test on OSX w/ /usr/bin/make (linked to
/usr/bin/gnumake) AND /usr/bin/bsdmake and .PHONY: install works.

.PHONY is not just a GNU make thing anyway; I know dmake uses it (we use 
it in the MacPerl Makefile, which uses dmake), so that makes it even 
less likely.  There are also multiple .PHONY declarations in perl's 
Makefile.SH already, including one for the "install" target, so I 
imagine it is used on other *make, too.  From my generated Makefile on 
Linux:


.PHONY: install install-strip install-all install-verbose install-silent 
\
no-install install.perl install.man install.html


So I dunno what the deal is ... maybe the problem is that .PHONY is a 
no-op on Mac OS X's make?
