>>	Make doesn't seem to work with implicit rules and long file names.

I to have experienced this problem with implicit rules and long
filenames.
I'm using the release of V2 djgpp (make 3.73) with Windows95.

All of the modules except those with longer that 8 chars do get compiled
in the following example.

-------------------------------------------
#makefile
MODULES =	file1 \
		file2 \
		filelongname1

include make.inc
-------------------------------------------
#make.inc
OBJ_MODULES = $(MODULES:%=%.o)

all : $(OBJ_MODULES)

%.o : %.c
	$(CC) $(COPTIONS) $< -o$@
-------------------------------------------
if I add the following then filelongname1.o gets compiled

filelongname1.o : filelongname1.c
	$(CC) $(COPTIONS) $< -o$@

but then I have to know what exactly is in MODULES in the makefile.
This is set up so that multiple makefiles in different directories
can include the same make.inc to use the SAME implicit rules.

Is there a fix in a later version of V2?
