Pattern rules with multiple targets not shown

[dacodas]

Consider the following Makefile

all: hello.b hello.c

hello.a:
    touch $@

%.b %.c: %.a
    touch $*.b $*.c

Instead of properly connecting the two pattern rule targets, only one of them is connected the in the dot output

I believe this is because the make -d output just says that the second has "already been considered"

With a different flag, however, it seems possible to have make let us know that it is building more than one file with a single recipe

# make -rRpBC example | grep -C5 'Also makes'
    touch $@

hello.b: hello.a

Thank you for this report ! I'm afraid I won't have the time to fix this soon.
