No. perf.c just is a bad example - perf.o has a special make rule,
and hence the pattern rule for perf.s fails because the symbols
defined for perf.o don't get also defined for perf.s. Those special
rules look pretty strange anyway - as long as using GNU make is a
requirement, they could be re-written to use the pattern rule, and
then would be much easier to extend to cover .i and .s generation
as well.

Using the rules added in this patch works fine for me for any of the
source files that don't have custom .o rules (which is what I needed
when I came up with this patch).
