I'd already read what the checkin said.  That's why I asked about it on irc. 
What I dunno is why replacing the default rule changes the behavior of the

Huh.  So how does the build know to call our different compile invocation to 
build the other .o files?  Couldn't most of them use the (new) default rule?
