For most platforms and builds we can't tell which builds that use GNU make,
thus we must avoid all GNU extensions except for the rare case wheres we know
GNU make is used (and I can't name even name one such right now).

I'm a bit old school on this. I don't consider this suggestion much of an
improvement. Instead of explicitly mention all the source files, this hides
what files that are used and makes it impossible to add local test files with
.c extensions (without having them built and included in libcurl).

The current maintaining "problem" is not solved by this line anyway, since
most of the "hard-coded" makefiles aren't used by systems with GNU make.

That's perfectly fine with me!
