As far as I know, this is the correct way to override a default pattern/suffix
rule.  The one specified explicitly should override the default.

I believe this can be fixed by adding .s to automake's SUFFIXES variable (not
to be confused with .SUFFIXES).  I need to look into it a bit more.

It doesn't?  Anything in a Makefile.am that doesn't appear to be special
automake magic is passed through to the Makefile (via Makefile.in).  How is
