Details:

Reopening bug 17105 (didn't find a way to do that, and didn't find any other
bug for this problem)

Example makefile:
------- begin ---------
all: c:/myfile.txt
        echo "yes"
------- end ----------- 

Expected output
------- begin ---------
make: *** No rule to make target `c:/myfile.txt', needed by `all'.  Stop.
------- end ----------- 

Actual output:
------- begin ---------
Makefile:1: *** target pattern contains no `%'.  Stop.
------- end ----------- 

Environment (Windows XP SP2):
------- begin ---------
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 <hostname> 1.5.23(0.156/4/2) 2006-12-19 10:52 i686 Cygwin
------- end ----------- 

Version, freshly built from the make-3.81 source archive:
------- begin ---------
$ make -v
GNU Make 3.81
Copyright (C) 2006  Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.

PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

This program built for i686-pc-cygwin
------- end ----------- 

Cygwin seem to have a patched version, linked from
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-09/msg00153.html

GCC on Cygwin produces such dependency entries with its -MF option.
