.PHONY does not take patterns (such as print-%) as prerequisites.
Have print-% depend on force and mark force as phony.

This change ensures print-% rule works even when there is a file that matches the target.

$ # on master
$ make print-host
host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
$ touch print-host
$ make print-host
make: 'print-host' is up to date.

$ git co mark_print_as_phony
Switched to branch 'mark_print_as_phony'
$ make print-host
host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
$ touch force
$ make print-host

Nice! Wondering why there's a difference in how you do it for Makefiles and Makefile.ams

@dgoncharov

What is the difference?

@dongcarl

What is the difference?

  1. It seems like you capitalize FORCE in Makefile.am and src/Makefile.am, whereas it is force in depends/Makefile
  2. You do .PHONY: force in depends/Makfile, but not in Makefile.am or src/Makefile.am

Both of these differences are accidental.
i initially planned to only modify depends/Makefile. So, i added target 'force'.
Then Hennadii pointed out that Makefile.am and src/Makefile.am have the same print-% rule.
So, i modified Makefile.am and src/Makefile.am. Both Makefile.am and src/Makefile.am already had a phony target called 'FORCE'. This eliminated the need for 'force' and i made print-% depend on 'FORCE' in Makefile.am and src/Makefile.am.

Ah right! Let's just capitalize the one in depends/Makefile to make them consistent.

Code Review ACK a27d4a3 modulo FORCE capitalization in depends/Makefile

Yes this needs squashing.
