I would like to rename the extension of all the .s files in /sys that need
pre-processing to .S.  There are two reasons for this.  

1. .S is the accepted standard [at least in the GCC community] for ASM
   files that need pre-processing.

2. If one has "-save-temps" in CFLAGS and edits a .s file, ``make'' will
   not build a new object.  ``make'' uses the datestamp of the .s file
   saved to disk due to the "-save-temps" option to `cc' since ``make''
   is hardwired to check OBJDIR before any .PATH:'s.  Thus ``make''
   incorrectly decides everything is up to date and nothing needs to be
   rebuilt.
