Why is make -q looking for a file 'check-macro-version'
although the target is declared phony?
I expect that it's because historically, 'make' always identified
rule names with file names, and .PHONY was introduced with
a minimum of change to the
Hi Paul,
I've been moving away from stamp files like that lately, though,
as these days they seem to be more trouble than they're worth,
at least for me. If you do create a stamp file, please make
sure that it works with parallel makes. ... The problem can be worked around,
though I don't

what does GNULIB_PORTCHECK mean?
e.g.,

No, it looks OK to me; please apply. If we run into problems
we can fix them later.
Hi Paul,
Does it mean phony targets are generally incompatible with make -q?
Apparently so
Thanks for the confirmation. I've raised the question on the bug-make list [1],
together with a pointer to your suggestion.
In the meantime, though, we're stuck with workarounds such as the

is it possible to extend GNU Make in a way that supports this? Possibly
by defining a new kind of special built-in target?

which would look like this:
.TIME: foo.h
foo.h: a b c etc

I had a few more minutes to play.
This time the tarball includes a module file of sorts.
Maybe I'm not looking at the right module for a template,
but I find this a bit different from the usual gnulib module.
