Subject:	make and .exe targets (more info)

Here is the situation.  I have a pretty simple makefile I want to use as
a default for compiling win32 GUI programs.
*********************
.SUFFIXES:
.SUFFIXES:.exe .c

.c.exe:
    gcc -mwindows $< $@   ( yes there is a tab at the beginning :) )

*****************************

When I try to compile a hello program 'winhello.exe' I get the
following...

/home/v2te2v2/test/: make winhello.exe
gcc -mwindows winhello.c -o winhello.exe
: No such file or directory586-cygwin32/bin/ld: cannot open output file
winhello.exe
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [winhello.exe] Error 1

If I type the gcc command directly the program compiles...

/home/v2te2v2/test/: gcc -mwindows winhello.c -o winhello.exe
/home/v2te2v2/test/:

Here is the output of the make -d winhello.exe ....
