The static pattern rules won't work unless $(HOSTOBJS)/$(NOPEDOBJS) has 
been filled in by the makefile.  config.mk is included too early for that.

A non-static pattern won't work unless we can distinguish between 
target, host-pedantic, and host-no-pedantic from the filename or path alone.

Plus, the name of the file is *rules*.mk. :-)

That would be nice to have, but is orthogonal to what this patch does. 
One thing at a time.
