Yes I am aware of that Paul. That's not what I was asking... I saw that make
checked all the prerequisites and remade them as necessary. I have no problem
with that part.
But what happened afterwards, after all the prerequisites were recursively
treated, then make started checking all the timestamps. After finding one that
was newer, it nevertheless continued checking all the other ones.
