Makefile解读之四： Rules.make的注释

# Old makefiles define their own rules for compiling .S files,
# but these standard rules are available for any Makefile that
# wants to use them. Our plan is to incrementally convert all
# the Makefiles to these standard rules. -- rmk, mec
# The -w option (enable warnings) for genksyms will return here in 2.1
# So where has it gone?
