>Environment:
System: NetBSD pohutukawa.its.vuw.ac.nz 1.1 NetBSD 1.1 (POHUTUKAWA) #6: Fri Feb 2 09:46:09 NZDT 1996 lloyd@pohutukawa.its.vuw.ac.nz:/usr/src/sys-1.1/arch/sparc/compile/POHUTUKAWA sparc


>Description:
	If I have a file called sparc.s and I type 'make sparc.o', I
get a file called a.out rather than a file called sparc.o. This is
because the rule for .s files invokes as rather minimally, and the
default output filename is a.out (which is short for "assembler
output").
>How-To-Repeat:
	% rm a.out sparc.o
	% touch sparc.s
	% make sparc.o
	% ls
>Fix:
To fix the problem, apply the following patch to /usr/share/mk/sys.mk.
