Re: GNU Make version 3.79.1

[Paul D. Smith]

Hi Lane; please try to use a descriptive subject line for your email,
relating to the problem you're having.  Including the version of GNU
make is very important (thanks!) but better reserved for the body of
your message, along with other critical information like the type of
system you're running GNU make on, etc.

Read about intermediate files in the GNU make manual (try the section
"Chains of Implicit Rules").
