I'm not really sure if this falls in the same category, but the rule
base is a pattern rule... it seems that something like

intermediate_path is no longer order only, it is instead a valid rule,
and that being a directory means it's often newer then the .o in
certain filesystems.
in my make 3.80 under linux, $| doesn't have anything, $< is just the
.c source file, other things have the intermediate path, but nothing
indicates order only, as it would if the order only dependant was
specified on a non-pattern rule...
If you simply touch $(intermediate_path), do all the .o's get rebuilt?
