Summary: make detects circular dependency when there is none
Project: make
Submitted by: None

Operating System: POSIX-Based
Fixed Release: None
_______________________________________________________
Details:
When running make with the makefile
VPATH := /etc
default: alpha beta
/etc/gamma:
.SECONDARY:
alpha: gamma
beta: gamma
it detects a circular dependency that does not exist:
make: Circular beta <- gamma dependency dropped.
make: Nothing to be done for `/etc/default'.
Obviously dropping this dependency is a problem for the correctness of the
build.
