Attached is the scenario I'm dealing with.
I'm wondering why the failing make invocation isn't picking up the
default rule (and as a corollary why the two working versions of the
pattern rule do work correctly).
make -d wasn't any help to me here (or I didn't understand what it was
trying to tell me).
Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks
