Thanks for the suggestion. I've appended the following paragraph.
For completeness it should be noted that GNU `make' is able to
express rules with multiple output files using pattern rules (*note
Pattern Rule Examples: (make)Pattern Examples.). We do not discuss
pattern rules here because they are not portable, but they can be
convenient in packages that assume GNU `make'.
