Make reports an incorrect message when a file found through directory search is preferred over the explicitly mentioned file.


$ cat -n makefile
     1  vpath hello.c src
     2  all: hello.c; $(info $@ from $^)
     3  hello.c: ; $(info 1 $@)
     4  src/hello.c: ; $(info 2 $@)
$ make
makefile:3: Recipe was specified for file 'hello.c' at makefile:4,
makefile:3: but 'hello.c' is now considered the same file as 'src/hello.c'.
makefile:3: Recipe for 'src/hello.c' will be ignored in favor of the one for 'hello.c'.
2 src/hello.c
all from src/hello.c
make: 'all' is up to date.


There are two bits of incorrect information in this message.

1. make reports that recipe for 'hello.c' is at makefile:4. Should be makefile:3.

2. make says that recipe for 'src/hello.c' will be ignored in favor of the one for 'hello.c'. Actually, make ignores the recipe for 'hello.c' in favor of the one for 'src/hello.c' and sets $< to 'src/hello.c', rather than 'hello.c' in the recipe of rule 'all'.


With this patch

makefile:3: Recipe was specified for file 'hello.c' at makefile:3,
makefile:3: but 'hello.c' is now considered the same file as 'src/hello.c'.
makefile:3: Recipe for 'hello.c' will be ignored in favor of the one for 'src/hello.c'.
2 src/hello.c
all from src/hello.c
make: 'all' is up to date.
