Hi,

I've got a quick question.

Here's my makefile:

-----------------------------------
.PHONY: a b c Makefile foo

.INTERMEDIATE: a

foo: a b c

a:
echo "done a"

b:
echo "Done b"

c:
echo "Done c"
------------------------------------

The .PHONY is only there to shortcut a lot of implicit searches (keeps
-d short).
Now, I *expect* make to build the dependencies in the order stated, ie,
a, then b,
then c.

However, beacuse I've got the '.INTERMEDIATE: a' in there is does it in
the order:
b, then c, then a.

Why does the order change?

Cheers,
RiP
