 I've done what you suggested and invoked make with make -d > make.log	What
I got was a screen full of it saying "Trying pattern rule with stem
'clean.dos'"  and on the next line it says "Rejecting impossible implicit
dependency 'target/clean.dos.s'"  At the very in of the list it says "No
implicit rule found for 'target/clean.dos'. Finished dependencies of target
file 'target/clean.dos'. Must remake target 'target/clean.dos'. make.exe***No
rule to make target 'target/clean.dos' . Stop" --
