Comment(by glynn):

 Replying to [ticket:1558 pertusus]:

 I don't get this behaviour (with 3.82). I encountered a different bug,
 namely that it matched the subdirectory rule:
 {{{
 $(ETCDIR)/symbols/%: | $(ETCDIR)/symbols
 }}}

 and created directories named .../symbols/base/arrow.png/ etc; fixed in
 r50581.

 > "When the target pattern does not contain a slash (and it usually does
 not), directory names in the file names are removed from the file name
 before it is compared with the target prefix and suffix."

 This doesn't apply, as all of the pattern rules contain at least one
 slash.

 > And also I believe that the second rule is chosen because all the
 prerequisites exist:

 mentioned always takes priority over a rule with prerequisites that must
 be made by chaining other implicit rules."

 It isn't clear what "mentioned" means, but r50581 might fix this, as it
 adds a non-pattern rule for each of the category subdirectories.
