It seems you're lying to the system.
(And, as always, this means it WILL get its revenge.)

The first recipe doesn't just create a.out, it also creates a1.
The second recipe depends on a1.

a.out a1:
        sleep 3
        touch a.out a1

b.out: a1
        cat a1 > b.out

c.out: a.out b.out
        cat a.out b.out > c.out


Or am I missing something?
