	I am using GNU make to give me a consistent make interface on both
SunOS and Ultrix. I am having trouble with Ultrix and GNU make interacting.
I don't really view this as a bug in GNU make...it is Ultrix brain-damage.
Can you suggest a workaround for this? I am really wedged.

	problem:

	the builtin rule for converting from a .c to a .o in GNU make is
something of (roughly) the form:

	cc -c file.c -o file.o

	Ultrix barfs on this, believe it or not. It won't let you specify a
file with a .o (or a .a) extension for the -o argument. I repeat. This is
completely brain-damaged on the part of Ultrix cc. It gives the error
message "cc: -o would overwrite file.o" even if there is no file file.o

help?
