The object files could be renamed before archiving, or GCC -o target
could be different from what simple %o: %.c substitution rule would
generate.

But googling for the project finds very few references, most of them
are OpenBIOS. This seems to be the source:
http://ftp.penguinppc.org/users/hasi/
It's stale, but I found it here:
http://www.koders.com/info.aspx?c=ProjectInfo&pid=XDR5GKGZPX43N13RGPC3DVB67A
in the project hfsplusutils. Linux fs/hfsplus seems to be very different.

So I think renaming would be the easiest solution, in the unlikely
event that hfsplusutils project revives we can still pretty easily
refresh.
