 Canceling Implicit Rules
 ------------------------
 
    You can override a built-in implicit rule (or one you have defined
 yourself) by defining a new pattern rule with the same target and
 prerequisites, but different commands.  When the new rule is defined,
 the built-in one is replaced.  The new rule's position in the sequence
 of implicit rules is determined by where you write the new rule.
 
    You can cancel a built-in implicit rule by defining a pattern rule
 with the same target and prerequisites, but no commands.  For example,
 the following would cancel the rule that runs the assembler:
 
      %.o : %.s
