I tried quite a bit of permutation (all others failing) before
selecting this one (shame on me, with a stackoverflow hint [!!!]).
But I finally found the relevant documentation reference:
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Static-Pattern
A simpler wildcard rule would not be enough, as the already existing
wildcard used to build plain c files will take precedence.
nat6to4 did not need this fancy syntax, as it was a simple, single
target single pre-req rule - that takes precedence on the mentioned
wildcard.
Please let me know if the above clarifies a bit the scenario.
Cheers,
Paolo
