    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Suppose there is a Makefile:

%.o: %.c
        echo building $@ from $^

%.o: %.c dummy
        echo building $@ from $^

On make invocation the second rule is ignored. No warning is shown (as opposed
to non-pattern rules). The latter rule has no effect
