ah - yes, OK, I see how that works.  It's sub-optimal that this rule
has to repeat the command from %.o: %.S but it'll do.  I agree that
this should fix the problems I was worrying about (and I still haven't
yet tested my make-files with 3.82, so don't yet know whether I even
have a problem - been a bit busy lately).
