The version with an implicit pattern rule tended to fail if test/
was built in an "out-of-tree" build directory not below test/, for
example:
cd SDL
mkdir _build-test
( cd _build-test; ../test/configure )
make -C _build-test
as a result of the pattern rule first checking for axis.bmp, then for
../test/axis.bmp, then ../test/../test/axis.bmp, and so on until the
maximum path length was reached.
Note that this requires GNU make. The FreeBSD ports file for SDL seems
to use GNU make (gmake) already, so presumably SDL's build system is
already relying on GNU make extensions.
