Several pattern rules for each directory in which sources should be looked up.
There are usually 30-40 directories in which files should be searched
and glibc needs a well defined order how to pick up the desired source
location for particular object file. E.g. pick .S in preference of .s,
then .c, repeated by several different prefixes (none, rtld-, ptw-, m_),
times the number of different object file types (.o, .os, .og, .op, .oS).
So that is 5 * 4 * 3 * 30 at minimum.
