It's clear that the pattern matching doesn't work- if it did, I wouldn't be asking this list. My question is /why/ this isn't working. It's not clear to me why this fails to work while suffix matching for defining my own implicit rules works. --v > Why do that though if you can specify compile options via conditionals > in make, like ifeq, if, etc, and manipulate the target name via $(if > ...)?
