That's what the .PHONY: target is for:
---
bash-2.01$ cat rules
build:
touch build
.PHONY: build
bash-2.01$ ls -l
total 1
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 37 Mar 21 16:37 rules
bash-2.01$ make -f rules build
touch build
bash-2.01$ ls -l
total 1
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 0 Mar 21 16:37 build
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 37 Mar 21 16:37 rules
bash-2.01$ make -f rules build
touch build
bash-2.01$ ls -l
total 1
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 0 Mar 21 16:38 build
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 37 Mar 21 16:37 rules
bash-2.01$
---
It makes make ignore files of the same name as a .PHONY: dependent.
Cheers, Phil.
