  Yes. This worked. FSF should be notified to include .cpp in make.

  Yup, I knew bout that, but I thought this was not standard. Do other makes
  support this? I thought that was a GNU-Make-only feature. Tell me if it's
  not.


  BTW, I found a problem with djgpp 2.0 and Borland make. gcc dies with a
  floating point exceptions when invoked from Borland make. I'm not quite
  sure now, but I think it WORKED with Beta 3. Has this something to do with
  the fact that Borland make is a 16 bit DPMI program? But why the FPE then?
  Maybe this could be a DJGPP bug?
