"Post by non-member to a members-only list"??? http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ says "All of the above mailing lists are open for posting by non-subscribers". Also, after sending out my question, I realized that there is already a similar question in a thread "Optional prerequisite" on August 31, 2005. The answer is there is no way to do it. Well, I don't mind you cancelling my post, or you can link the 8/31/2005 answer as the answer to my question, assuming the current version of make does not have any enhancement after 8/31/2005. But I think it would be really nice that 'make' one day would be enhanced to accomodate optional prerequisites. As you can see, my situation is not a rare one in real life. Thanks.
