I'm using gnu make (v3.73) as a kind of intelligent batch-file, not just 
for compiling c/c++. With the makefile below, make deletes the files 
lms0* at the end of the run, but this files are listed in 'lms' as 
desinations to create! Especially surprising is the fact, that make 
deletes it, but knows it has to create this files as if you run make 
again, it recompiles them.

Has anyone encountered similar problems with make or sees an error within 
my makefile?

I've cut the makefile to the minimum and replaced the real functions with 
ECHO-statements using output-redirection just creating dummi-files.

As manually undeleting all files costs a lot of time and recompilation 
even more (the real makefile runs more than one hour at a P100), thanks 
in advance for any help.
