[bug #64886] order-only prerequisite on a .PHONY line makes prerequisite "unmakeable"

[Paul D. Smith]

Update of bug #64886 (project make):

                  Status:                    None => Not A Bug              
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #2:

Agreed: in fact this is a primary reason to choose PHONY targets over
something like FORCE rules; they improve performance by avoiding that search
(as well as being a bit cleaner in syntax).

Greg are you saying that if you do NOT use the order-only separator you get
different behavior?
