This equivalency only affects stat() and the PATH search of the shell.  So
you can write makefiles like this:

fooprog: $(OBJS)
        $(CC) -o $@ $^

install: fooprog
        $(INSTALL) fooprog$(EXEEXT) $(bindir)

and they will work.  But it probably doesn't in general on other systems
that have executable extensions.  In fact, I'd have no idea how to act in
face of arbitrary $(EXEEXT) values.
