We currently have this in src/makefile.inc:

    .SUFFIXES: .o .i .c .cc .s

My test situation was this:

    cd /path/to/djgpp/tree
    cd src
    mkdir foo
    cd foo
    touch foo.c foo.S

---Start src/foo/Makefile---
TOP=.

#SRC += foo.c
SRC += foo.S

include $(TOP)/../makefile.inc
---End src/foo/Makefile---

I tried: shifting .s to the front; adding .S to the end; adding .S to the
front. None of this made any difference: the .c file was always compiled and
the .S file was always ignored, when I did "make clean && make all" in
src/foo.

So it looks like we can't have a .c and .S file with the same stem. This makes
sense: where would the object file go? But it still troubles me that the
makefile builds the .c in preference to the .S.

BTW why isn't .S in .SUFFIXES?

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
