[bug #33034] "Makefile:23: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop." for Linux kernel out of source builds

[David Boyce]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #33034 (project make):

I'm uploading a patch that adds an --allow-mixed-rules option which converts
the fatal error to a warning. This is the only testing it's been subjected
to:

% cat Makefile
all %.o:
        @echo Making "$@"

% make-4.0
Makefile:1: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.

% make-4.0 --allow-mixed-rules
Makefile:1: warning: mixed implicit and normal rules
Making all

I don't claim to understand all the logic in read.c but from a quick
examination of the git log this seemed to have a good chance of being all
that's required. I'm not in a position to test it thoroughly at this time.
