Here’s what I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  Considering target file `core.x'.
   File `core.x' does not exist.
   Looking for an implicit rule for `core.x'.
   Trying pattern rule with stem `core'.
   Trying implicit prerequisite `core.c'.
   Found an implicit rule for `core.x'.
    Considering target file `core.c'.

[...]

   Finished prerequisites of target file `core.x'.
  Must remake target `core.x'.
Invoking recipe from Makefile:1685 to update target `core.x'.
/home/ludo/src/guix/gnutls-3.2.4/test/bin/guile-snarf -o core.x core.c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I../../lib/includes -I../../lib/includes -I../../extra/includes -I../.. -I.  -g -O2 -Wno-strict-prototypes  -I../../gl -I../../gl -I/nix/store/zjwxxa719d1nnr68h5iha1kcf07ls32y-guile-1.8.8/include  -pthread
  Successfully remade target file `core.x'.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So clearly it’s picking up the right recipe.

Andreas: what version of GNU Make did you use?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
