.SUFFIXES is only used for the old-style suffix rules, like ".c.o:".
It has no effect on pattern rules using %.

How did it go from 'all' to '..../libclone.o' (.o and not .a)?  I
guess you didn't show the 'all' target in your previous messages, but
why bother to have a prerequisite like
all: $(MAKE_DEPS)
?

Either
1) don't set it to begin with (why are they?), or
2) explicitly include the rules you need.
