[bug #58056] Forced prerequisite order is not honored with pattern rules

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #58056 (project make):

If this behavior is allowed, I think the documentation should clarify what the
order-only prerequisites actually means. I still haven't figured out their
purpose or how they operate based on the documentation or what has been said
here. To me, the documentation basically implies that everything after the '|'
is serialized.

Sorry if this is getting of topic, but the issue exists in the first place
because of this confusion. I usually never assume any serialization of the
prerequisites, but I needed to enforce it in a particular scenario and though
the '|' was for this.
