The recipe specified for .DEFAULT is used for any target for which no
rules are found (either explicit rules or implicit rules). See
Defining Last-Resort Default Rules. If a .DEFAULT recipe is
specified, every file mentioned as a prerequisite, but not as a
target in a rule, will have that recipe executed on its behalf. See
Implicit Rule Search Algorithm.
This talks only about the recipe; it doesn't say anything about
prerequisites, and, in fact, prerequisites of .DEFAULT are ignored.
