Re: [bug #13976] Regression in :: deps handling between V3.76 and V3.80

[Paul D. Smith]

Whoops, no I'm wrong.

The thing about order-only is it applies only to the top-level targets:

    all: foo | bar

    foo: baz biz
    bar: boz booz

Here, foo will not be run until after "bar" is done.  BUT, biz, baz,
boz, and booz can still all be run in parallel.


I think the goal of this:

    all: foo .WAIT bar

    foo: baz biz
    bar: boz booz

would be that neither foo NOR any of its prerequisites would be built
until bar and all if its prerequisites were finished.
