+<p>Double colon recipes</p>
+<blockquote>
+Double colon recipes are written with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">::</span></tt> instead of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">:</span></tt> and are
+handled differently from ordinary recipes if the target appears in more
+than one recipe. First, all the recipes must be of the double colon type.
+Second, the recipes are executed individually and may be omitted depending
+on the state of their prerequisites. Double colon recipes without any
+prerequisites will always be executed.</blockquote>
+<p>Pattern rules</p>

+<p>A couple of examples:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+%.o : %.c
+ gcc -o $&#64; $&lt;
+%.tab.c %.tab.h : %.y
+ bison -d $&lt;
+</pre>
+<p>The latter has two outputs.</p>
