My question is about, the section, 4.4.3 How Directory Searches are Performed:
Please correct me if I am wrong:
In Item 4.b:
"If the target does need to be rebuilt (is out-of-date), the pathname
found during directory search is thrown away, and the target is
rebuilt using the file name
specified in the makefile."

The first word of 'target' is the prerequisite of our first rule and
needs to be rebuilt, while the second word of  'target' points to the
target of the first rule.
