[bug #42125] Explicit rules do not support multiple targets

[Paul D. Smith]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #42125 (project make):

I'm afraid I don't understand: how can a static pattern rule have multiple
targets?  Each pattern in the target needs to match each of the elements of
the static list, so clearly you can't have multiple patterns.  Unless you're
saying that the target section would have only one pattern plus one or more
explicit targets, which seems of fairly limited usefulness.

It sounds to me like you are just looking for exactly what this bug is asking
for: a way to have an explicit rule be marked to generate multiple targets
with one recipe invocation.  That's a very useful feature, but trying to
shoehorn it into static pattern rules doesn't seem like a good fit at all.
