[bug #66011] dependencies after a non-existing file are silently ignored

[Dmitry Goncharov]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #66011 (group make):

This rule

%.o : %.c $(HEADERS) Makefile

does not apply because nonexisting.h does not exist.

To make there is simply no rule in this makefile to build *.o files.

You want to do something like this instead

hello.o: $(HEADERS) Makefile
%.o : %.c
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $<


i'll need to think if diagnostics can be improved to help the user in this
case.
