Summary:  Memory effect on GNUmakefile ?

Original Submission:  It seems to be a bug, but I'm not sure.

If files is changed in GNUmakefile from C_FILES to OBJC_FILES
and file extension is changed from .c to .m,
without 'make distclean', it will complain that
the old .c file doesn't exist even the GNUmakefile is updated.
It memorizes the old GNUmakefile in this case.

I use these two files for testing.

GNUmakefile:

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make

# The application to be compiled
TOOL_NAME = Test

# The Objective-C source files to be compiled
Test_OBJC_FILES = main.m

# The C source files to be compiled
Test_C_FILES =

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/tool.make

main.m:
int main(int argc, const char **argv)
{
  printf("Test\n");
  return 0;
}

Compile these two files. Then 'mv main.m main.c',
and change GNUmakefile to include the new main.c in C_FILES
(and comment out OBJC_FILES)
Compile again will complain the old main.m doesn't exist.
Only after 'make distclean' will make it work
