🚀 go-pugleaf

I am trying to use GNU make 3.75 under AIX 3.2.5 on a makefile that used to work fine with the default make.  Using a suffix rule (or the GNU implict rule) I run into problems.  The object directory is seperate to the source directories.

The problem occurs with a suffix rule

.
.cpp.o:

The object file dependency has the full path against it so it only seems to check for the cpp file in the same directory for the suffix rule.

The object file excplitly also has a set of dependencies against it including the cpp file. 
 
When I run make in debug mode it comes up say it has found the cpp dependency file and it is newer than the o file but then says that no dependencies have changed.

Doing a very similar action on a file inserted into a library works fine.

I'm confused.

Any help would be appreciated.
