make fs/qnx4/qnx4.o

That won't work right now, but that should work.

If that turns out to be too slow, then I have an alternative proposition.
Rename the current Makefiles to Makerules then have small Makefiles in
each directory which include the Makerules.  I want to see how slowly
it goes once the whole tree is converted before deciding on that.
