Follow-up Comment #1:

I agree this is a bug.  I think fixing it will not be so simple; by the time
we are setting the intermediate flag on foo.def, foo.ghi has already been
defined as a target and at that point we can't tell whether it was done as a
side-effect of the pattern, or whether there really IS an explicit target
foo.ghi in the makefile (and so we shouldn't mark it intermediate).  We'll
need to find a way to make that distinction.

FYI, the formatting caused problems with your example; here's the makefile I
used to test:


all: foo.jkl

%.jkl: %.def %.ghi ; cat '$^' > '$@'

%.def %.ghi: %.abc
        @echo "Generating $*.def and $*.ghi from $<"
        @sleep 2
        touch '$*.def' '$*.ghi'

%.abc: ; date > '$@'

clean: ; rm -f foo.*
