Hi Boris; this one is in your stuff.  I investigated and the problem is that with the new secondary expansion the dependencies in the static pattern are converted so that the percent is turned into a $* reference.  But, in the case of double-colon static pattern rules, there is no file->stem value defined.  It looks like the code in read.c:record_files() which handles double-colon targets is not setting that value: only the single-colon handling branch does.  Look around read.c:2116 in the latest CVS and see how that is only in the single-colon section of the code.

If I get a chance I'll look at it more closely.

The following was supported by V3.80 (and earlier):

TARGETS += all
TARGETS += depend

$(TARGETS):: ; @true
$(TARGETS):: % : %.serial %.parallel
$(addsuffix .serial, $(TARGETS))::
$(addsuffix .parallel, $(TARGETS)):

But starting with V3.81, the above results in:

make-3.81-beta3: * No rule to make target `.serial', needed by `nothing'.  Stop.

In the above example, if change the '::' to ':', the bug goes away.  However, doing so, breaks all our existing Makefiles where 'all' and 'depend' are '::' targets with multiple commands.

The pattern rules should work with both ':' and '::' targets.
I've included a simple Makefile for your use.
