Follow-up Comment #2, bug #31155 (project make):

Sorry, I thought I had to attach this comment; here it is directly:

>From running GNU Make 3.82 in a debugger:

For target "foo", pattern_search() treats "$(PREREQS)" as one
word not equal to "|", and therefore does not set the order-only
flag.  Instead, it applies second expansion to produce "p1|p2".
It then invokes PARSE_FILE_SEQ, which stops at '|', but the fact
that "|p2" remains unparsed goes unnoticed.

For target "bar", pattern_search() treats "p1|$(P2)" as two
words: "p1|" and "$(P2)", neither equal to "|".  Note the
significance of the absence of space before '|'.  The first
word gets second-expanded trivially and then split into "p1",
ignoring the leftover "|".  The second gets second-expanded
into p2, which is treated as a normal prerequisite because
the '|' was ignored.

The comparison of words against "|" before second expansion
seems both unnecessary and insufficient.  Would it be better
to check the results of PARSE_FILE_SEQ, to see if it stopped
because it found a '|'?
