Details:

Given this makefile:

COPY    = foo.cp
BIN     = foo

SRC     = $(COPY:.cp=.c)

allworks:       $(BIN) $(COPY)

allbroken:      $(COPY) $(BIN)

$(SRC):
        echo 'main(){}' > $@

%.cp:   %
        cp $< $@

clean:
        rm -rf $(SRC) $(COPY) $(BIN)

make allworks -- works on 3.81
make allbroken -- works on 3.80 but does not on 3.81

Is this a feature or bug?
