I've got the following lines in a GNUmakefile.
---

# delete known suffixes
.SUFFIXES:
	
%:	%.o
	$(CC) -o $@ $< $(LIBS)

%.o:	%.c $(HDRS)
	$(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $<

---
when I make testfile, gnumake automatically deletes testfile.o after
loading it.

I've tried reading the info on Gnumake, but couldn't find out how to
inhibit automatic deletion of object modules after loading.

Could someone help through email please.

Thanks.
