To add more to the flames, it appears that Ultrix also follows POSIX.2
suffix substution, as does SunOS and Windows...

The problem is the following construct doesn't work under Windows or
Ultrix:

OBJ=.o
OBJS=$(SRCS:.c=$(OBJ))

Something to do with macro expansions inside macro expansions, I
guess.
