Follow-up Comment #1:

There's no new feature needed for this: this is something that's easily
achievable today.  We prefer to use the mailing lists, either
help-make@gnu.org or bug-make@gnu.org, when asking for assistance and advice,
not the bug tracker.  Then if something is really a bug it can be reported
here.

You can do what you want by having other_file _depend on_ a phony file, rather
than making other_file itself phony.


other_file: FORCE
        $(MAKE) ... other_file

FORCE:
