Right. Because I was suggesting to output something like this:

$ make
...
     CC builtin-grep.o
builtin-grep.c:187: warning: 'external_grep' defined but not used

Notice "builtin-grep.o" (the ".o", not _.c_). IOW, we already see builtin-grep.c when we need it (in the error/warning message), BUT the builtin-grep.o is missing (and is useful for mouse-copy-paste).
