Re-phrasing the question:
Does "make" interpret what the target points to,
or just consider it
as a string?
Seems like as long as the strings are different, they are
considered
different.
The same can be said about relative path and absolute path.
aa/file:
$(CURDIR)/aa/file:
These 2 are considered as different targets.
Is there a "make" option to force make to consider
these as the same
targets?
