Andi,
    Let's keep this discussion on track with the other thread that's
open. We can probably come to an engineering solution that will allow
your version of make (3.80) to function, but I think that a line needs
to be drawn in the sand at that version because make 3.79 is too
ancient (~7 years old) to work with.
Thanks,
-Garrett
