Note that double colon rules have a specific meaning in make:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Double_002dColon.html

I've read a few times the page, but I'm not sure I fully grasp what it
says, so I don't know if the double colon was intended (and needed at
the time) or was a typo.
