GNU Make 3.55 has one strange change: If target does not have
dependencies and has commands, target is remade. This is possibly a
some kind of bug, since CHANGES file says nothing about it, and
usually makes do not behave like this. Or is this some kind of new
feature, since ChangeLog says that this change was made (at Aug 22).

Make 3.55 never reports that `No way to make target'. If Makefile
is missing or there was a typo in target, it always says that target
is up to date.
