What about (probably quite gnu-make-spesific[*], and untested):
# maybe you'll have a more direct way to get the lst of files
FOO_A_FILES=$(shell ls *.a)
# This may be wrong, depends where the expantion occours
FOOL_A_FILES=$(FOO_A_FILES:%.a=%.l)
FOOF_FILES=$(shell ls *f)
FOOL_F_FILES=$(FOOF_FILES:%f=%.l)
# Use this as a target somewhere:
FOOL_FILES=$(FOOL_F_FILES) $(FOOL_A_FILES)
%.l: %.a
ln -s "$@" "$^"
%.l: %f
ln -s "$@" "$^"
[*] Is there any way to write a "non-trivial" makefile that will work both
with gnu- and bsd-make?
