MIPS-supplied make cannot deal with the following Makefile (which works fine
on a Sun or with GNU make).

    default: file
	    cat file

    % : %,v
	    - co $(COFLAGS) $@

    % : RCS/%,v
	    - co $(COFLAGS) $@

Are there any plans to get a make that does percent rules in a forthcoming
MIPS distribution?
