I am having a problem with Make.  When I try to build libc.a, make is 
calling all of the .S files as .s files, hence it is not preprocessing 
each file correctly.  I cannot find anywhere in the makefile where it
is even calling as.exe to assemble these programs.  I know how to write 
simple makefiles, but the one used to build libc.a perplexs me.  Here is 
an example of what is happening: (from memory)
>...
>make:
>  as -o compat\gnu\some_asm.o compat\gnu\some_asm.s
>make: Error in compat\gnu\some_asm.s, aborting... 
>
(as.exe barfed on the C style comment in some_asm.s)

The makefile in compat\gnu clearly defines each file as .S and not .s so 
I don't understand the problem.  Example:

>SRC += some_prog.c
>SRC += some_asm.S
>
>include $BASE\..\makefile.lib

These are not true examples, just ones I came up with in my head, but 
they state the problem.  Is there any workaround to this?
