[bug #64886] order-only prerequisite on a .PHONY line makes prerequisite "unmakeable"

[Greg Minshall]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #64886 (project make):

hi.  thanks for the responses.  no, i'm not claiming that the behavior is
different with or without the "|" (i.e., order-only or not).

i guess only issue might be, "should .PHONY: give an error for order-only
pre-requisites?".  i can't think of a reason such a pre-requisite would make
any sense (i.e., wouldn't be a mistake by the user).  but, i'm not that up on,
e.g., order-only.

and, maybe there's not really a way to detect the condition ".PHONY: +
order-only".  in which case, the current behavior probably stays.

again, thanks.
