From `make -v -p -f /dev/null':

# GNU Make version 3.56, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
[...]
# default
PREPROCESS.S = $(CC) -E $<
[...]
%.s: %.S
#  commands to execute (built-in):
	$(PREPROCESS.S) $< > $@
[...]

The duplication of `$<' in these two definitions results in gmake
trying to execute commands like

gcc68k -E crt.S crt.S > crt.s
