] "cc -o foo -c blah.c" now creates foo, instead of "blah.o"
HURRAH! Justification? I have source I want to conditionally-compile,
and I don't want to play games in my Makefile:
.c.o: ; $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $<
.c.do: ; $(CC) -DDEBUG $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $<
The old way "-o is ignored if -c is specified" is inconsistent; the new
way "-o specifies the output file name" is reasonable, sensible, and
orthogonal.
