RE: i need some smart rule

[Miller, Bryan]

How about

%.a: %.o: $(objects1)
        command1

%.a: %.o: $(objects2)
        command2

%.a: %.o: $(objects3)
        command3

where the dependencies for each rule would vary even if the rule does not?
I would recommend not prefacing the rule with the path (e.g. bin\) but
rather map that to the list of objects with $(addprefix) or something
similar.

Cheers,
Bryan
