I don't think Bernd claimed anywhere that something is broken. He
claims there is a typo. I've also seen this double colon several times,
and it isn't consistent across the other similar make targets, and I
always wondered if it was needed or not. If it is not needed, we should
remove it to make this rule consistent with others. If it's needed, it
should be explained in a comment above it because it's not obvious
what's going on.
