This fixes the build problem on Solaris, but not on FreeBSD.

On FreeBSD I still get:
$ ./configure
$ make
make: don't know how to make objs/example.o. Stop

Apparently BSD's make doesn't know about %.o: %.c rules :(
Here is the manpage, but I couldn't figure how such a rule could be written:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=make&sektion=1

BTW you can install the package pmake on Linux to test, that is NetBSD's
make, and it is just as stupid^Hfeatureless as
the FreeBSD make.
