When running make with the makefile

VPATH := /etc
default: alpha beta
/etc/gamma:
.SECONDARY:
alpha: gamma
beta: gamma

it detects a circular dependency that does not exist:

make: Circular beta <- gamma dependency dropped.
make: Nothing to be done for `/etc/default'.

Obviously dropping this dependency is a problem for the correctness of the build.
