Your '.c.o' suffix rule is not executed because the suffix list gets
cleared at the end of the Makefile. You either have to delete the
'.SUFFIXES:' rule or add another one with '.c' and '.o'.

Yes, I am. Unfortunately for you, I have no such plans. I rather use a
portable make than bother to write a portable Makefile. Also,
out-of-source builds are much harder if only using POSIX make syntax.

Maybe it's better to write a new minimal BSD Makefile using bsd.prog.mk
instead of tailoring sxiv's GNU Makefile to make it work with BSD make.
