So, I have this makefile. It's fairly standard, generates .o from .c and .dll/.a
from .o. However,  I need to keep the object files (and some other generated
files) around after the build for debugging purposes.
This is made difficult by the fact that after a build - even if interrupted
- make tidies up after itself by deleting all intermediate generated files,
which in this case means *.o *.lc *.ilc.
My findings:
- neither Linux make nor Cygwin make do this (all three versions at 3.80; also
tried MSYS make 3.79.1)
- make -r (omit implicit rules) doesn't fix this
- it's not documented in make --help
- it's not documented in the GNU Make manual
- it's not documented in the Linux or Cygwin man pages

So, does anyone know why it does this, and how to fix it?
