@ -10431,9 +10431,11 @@ A pattern rule can be used to build a given file only if there is a
target pattern that matches the file name, @emph{and} all
prerequisites in that rule either exist or can be built. The rules
you write take precedence over those that are built in. Note however,
that a rule whose prerequisites actually exist or are mentioned always
takes priority over a rule with prerequisites that must be made by
chaining other implicit rules.
that a rule which can be satisfied without chaining other implicit
rules (for example, one which has no prerequisites or its
prerequisites already exist or are mentioned) always takes priority
over a rule with prerequisites that must be made by chaining other
implicit rules.
