Ah yes, it was something like that: in the Makefile there was some
such "$COMMAND -c filename" stuff, and the $COMMAND
was undefined, so it looked like c instead. It is derived from
some rather large setup scripts that take into account the hardware
and software, but fell through the cracks in my case.
