Don't use "make" to do the loop. Use the shell for this. Use the shell
to generate a "new" Makefile, and included it from you "main"
Makefile. Something like this:
auto.mk : s1.c s2.c ... sN.c
rm -f $@
for i in $+; do
write_rule $i >> $@
done
include auto.mk
Where, obviously, "write_rule" is whatever is required to deduce the
prerequisites for "sX.c" and output the respective Make rule.
Hope this helps
