A good suggestion. I tried this. Apparently, it seems to not
only disable the built-in implicit rules, but also the implicit
rules defined in the Makefile itself via a pattern rule, so
since I had:
%.ui.h: %.ui
cmds...
this rule is now missing and it still fails. It does, however,
prevent it from getting the circular dependency.
As for suffixes, I'm not sure I really want to play with them.
I'm actually designing a Makefile/build system that I want to
work for just about anything--one of my design goals is to
rely on as many of make's built-in rules as possible.
