Details:
The attached Makefile demonstrates a bug in make-3.82 that is
apparently an improper interaction between "make -j", pattern
rules and ".SECONDARY:".
This example works on Linux, and requires a working make-3.82,
gcc, and binutils (objcopy).
1. Create an empty directory.
2. cd to that directory.
3. Place the attached Makefile in that directory.
4. Do "make -j 20". Notice that the make fails because it
attempts to make a .dbg file before the corresponding
.exe file has been built.
5. Comment out the ".SECONDARY:" line in the Makefile.
6. Do "make clean".
7. Do "make -j 20". Notice that the make succeeds (but it
deletes all of the .c and .o files because the
".SECONDARY" declaration is not present.
