In words the problem lies in the fact that make prunes subgraphs (bar in our case) that may have been built with different dont_care flag (remake.c:update_file, line 295).

There is also a piece of code below (remake.c:update_file_1, line 381) that seem to be dealing with similar (the same?) situation. Should it be duplicated in update_file or maybe moved? It seems to me that file->considered and file->updated have somewhat similar roles.

Paul, any thoughts?
