problem with target-specific vars and dependencies

[Tzafrir Cohen]

Hi

My makefile:

c: var=1

c: b
        @echo making $@ from $^, var=$(var)

b: a
        @echo making $@ from $^, var=$(var)

a:


$ make b c
making b from a, var=
making c from b, var=1
$ make c
making b from a, var=1
making c from b, var=1

Shouldn't 'make b' get the value of 'var' fom the target-specific 
assignment of c?

I use GNU Make version 3.79.1 from Debian/testing (i386).
