I can reproduce this on 3.82, but only if the (ostensibly not used) vpath lib%.a pattern is present.  If I remove that first line it works properly.  Weird.

I can't reproduce this at all in the current release candidates for the next version of GNU make, so this issue must have already been fixed.

Consider the following Makefile:

# --- >8 ---

vpath lib%.a /tmp/boosttmp/
vpath lib%.so /tmp/boosttmp/

a: -lm -lboost_system
@echo target a: $^

b: -lboost_system -lm
@echo target b: $^

# --- >8 ---

Note that /tmp/boosttmp/ as well as some system library path must contain libboost_system.so to reproduce the bug. From my understanding make will search the vpath first and then the system directories. Now consider the following executions of make:

$ make a
target a: /usr/lib64/libm.so /usr/lib64/libboost_system.so
$ make b
target b: /tmp/boosttmp/libboost_system.a /usr/lib64/libm.so
$ make a b
target a: /usr/lib64/libm.so /usr/lib64/libboost_system.so
target b: /usr/lib64/libboost_system.so /usr/lib64/libm.so
$ make b a
target b: /tmp/boosttmp/libboost_system.a /usr/lib64/libm.so
target a: /usr/lib64/libm.so /tmp/boosttmp/libboost_system.a

"make a" and "make a b" find the libboost_system libray in the system directories but "make b" and "make b a" in the vpath directory. Note also that the expansion of target a and b is inconsistent in the different executions.
