I think there are two bugs in make 3.55:

1. The character ; exits from a comment introduced by # in the
   dependencies line

2. Rules with no dependencies are always run, even if the the target
   of the rule is an existent file.

Here is an example makefile for both points:

------------
target: .login # this ; is just a comment
 @echo "just a test"

target2:
 @echo "This message should appear if the file target2 do not exist"

------------
