I don't see anything in your makefile that looks like a suffix rule, nor
any references to any targets that look like they might need a suffix
rule to be built. This is a standard makefile that builds an executable
from a number of .c files.
Note that "*.suffix" is not a legal suffix; make doesn't use shell
wildcards like "*" in its syntax; I can't tell from your message whether
you are actually trying to write "*.suffix" or whether you're just using
"*" as a meta-character.
The GNU make manual section on suffix rules gives a pretty cogent
explanation of their syntax and use.
Please read the GNU make manual section on reporting bugs, and try to
provide complete information.
HTH.
