 Here are some historical records of how the behavior of make changed
 between 1999 and 2022:

 current (as of 2022-02-12)
 
 The output from the PR doesn't exactly match the output from my suite of
 historical make versions, in addition the output changed quite a lot
 during the last 20 years.
 
 The statement that "The problem which triggered this PR was fixed" does
 not say when it was fixed, and the commits from
 https://github.com/NetBSD/src/commits/792e1d4ca9a0ffdc53315fed2498521d02f1=
 b618/usr.bin/make
 also don't clearly refer back to this PR.
 
 Seems to be still unsolved.
