The manual says: ".NOTINTERMEDIATE with no prerequisites causes all targets to
be treated as not intermediate."
I tested this on GMU Make 4.4, but it does not work as claimed.
[Test code]
%.a: %.b
cp $< $@
%.b: %.c
cp $< $@
.NOTINTERMEDIATE:
[Result]
$ touch x.c
$ make x.a
cp x.c x.b
cp x.b x.a
rm x.b
x.b was removed (as the effect of the chained rule).
BTW, ".NOTINTERMEDIATE: %.b" correctly suppresses the removal of x.b
