# GNU make extension; shouldn't hurt others:
.SUFFIXES:	.c .o .obj .pic.o

.c.o:
	$(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $*.c

.c.obj:
	$(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $*.c

.c.pic.o:
	$(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $*.c


...or whatever.  I believe "$<" also works in these implicit rules, though
not in general.  (I'm not sure why we used "$*" instead of "$<" above...)
