A GNU make pattern rule with multiple targets has always meant that a single invocation of the recipe will build all the targets. However in older versions of GNU make a recipe that did not really build all the targets would be tolerated. Starting with GNU make 4.4 this behavior is deprecated and pattern rules are expected to generate files to match all the patterns. If not all targets are created then GNU make will not consider any target up to date and will re-run the recipe when it is run again. Modify Documentation/Makefile to split the man page-creating pattern rule into a separate pattern rule for each pattern.
