Hmmm, that does not _seem_ to be the case. Regardless of whether I have

   .SUFFIXES: .o .so

or

   .SUFFIXES: .so .o

I still get the same message indicating that it does not know how to
build a .so from a .o

(The indent above is for exposition purposes, the .SUFFIXES: is hard
up against the left hand column in the Makefile.)
