On PPC Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.8:

        -rw-r--r-- 1 pete admin 0 2025-05-29 00:00:00.000000000 +0200 a
        -rw-r--r-- 1 pete admin 0 2025-05-29 00:00:00.000000000 +0200 b
        
        gmake: 'b' is up to date.


On x86_64 High Sierra, macOS 10.13.6:

        -rw-r--r-- 1 pete admin 0 2025-05-29 00:00:00.000000000 +0200 a
        -rw-r--r-- 1 pete admin 0 2025-05-29 00:00:00.000000000 +0200 b
        
        gmake: 'b' is up to date.


On x86_64 Sonoma, macOS 14.7.4:
        
        -rw-r--r-- 1 pete admin 0 2025-05-29 00:00:00.000000000 +0200 a
        -rw-r--r-- 1 pete admin 0 2025-05-29 00:00:00.000000000 +0200 b
        
        gmake: 'b' is up to date.

Here the system's GNU Make 3.81 needed a minute or such to tell that nothing 
needs to be done. (gmake is GNU Make 4.4.1)


The results from PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11, have to wait, my PowerBook runs 
on Leopard now…
