Build process: mpy file in frozen dir produces spam

I inadvertently included a .mpy file in a directory containing .py files for freezing. On building, so much output spewed that the Bash history buffer filled; I couldn't scroll back far enough to see where the error first occurred.

It would be good if the build process either stopped with a clear message or ignored files without .py extensions with a warning.

error with frozen option

My issue looks like https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/4542 which was only assumed to be solved.

I use an esp32 with:
~/micropython/ports/esp32$ make FROZEN_MPY_DIR="frozen"
The error then is:

GEN build/frozen_mpy.c
usage: mpy-tool.py [-h] [-d] [-f] [-q QSTR_HEADER]
                   [-mlongint-impl {none,longlong,mpz}] [-mmpz-dig-size N]
                   files [files ...]
mpy-tool.py: error: the following arguments are required: files
../../py/mkrules.mk:122: recipe for target 'build/frozen_mpy.c' failed
make: *** [build/frozen_mpy.c] Error 2
make: *** Deleting file 'build/frozen_mpy.c'

(I don't use symlinks as discussed in the closed issue)
Dir ~/micropython/ports/esp32/frozen exists and is empty now.
