Still, wildcarding the local *.c references seems like a clear step forward. I'll go push that part.
In some cases, the listed files are build output from another rule, for example sql_help.c. By using a wildcard, you just take whatever files happen to be there, not observing proper make dependencies. (Conversely, you could also include files that are not part of the build, maybe leftover from something aborted.) So I'm not sure this is such a clear win. In any case, someone should check that this creates identical output before and after.
