Checking if the file exists should not block IMHO, even if that file is
a DOS device.  Stat-ing too (just tried ls -l aux).  Only
reading/writing should block.

I have tried `make aux' with no Makefile and with several makefiles, but
could not reproduce the problem (Win2000, Cygwin 1.3.1; nearly latest --
bash is only 2.05-5, not 2.05-6).

# No makefile: `make: Nothing to be done for `aux''

# This makefile: `make: `aux' is up to date.'
aux:
        @echo foo

# This one: `foo'
aux:
        @echo foo
.PHONY: aux

# This one: `foo'
aux: test
test:
        echo foo

# This one: `foo'
aux: test
test:
        echo foo
.PHONY: aux
