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 de-pendencies, 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 dependencies, but no commands. For example,
the following would cancel the rule that runs the assembler:
%.o : %.s
