It's that last part that bothers me. The GNU make maintainers have
occasionally made decisions that IMHO were unwise, but if /they/ can't
find the bug...

I hit ^C during a build all the time. I've never had an extensionless
file vanish. As you say, that proves nothing.
We don't use .PRECIOUS anywhere in the makefiles. Do you think this would

access to anything else right now.
