In some cases, the listed files are build output from another rule, for
example sql_help.c. By using a wildcard, you just take whatever files
happen to be there, not observing proper make dependencies.
(Conversely, you could also include files that are not part of the
build, maybe leftover from something aborted.) So I'm not sure this is
such a clear win. In any case, someone should check that this creates
identical output before and after.
