Dang. That is just wonky. I've got RedHat 6.1 installed. The relevant
packages are:

  make-3.77-6
  bash-1.14.7-16
  autoconf-2.13-5
  libtool-1.3.4-3

What do you have?

I've got no problem with the change, but I'd like to understand what is
going wrong. Why is SUBDIRS always null?

Hmm. I wonder if it does the substitution for SUBDIRS when it reads the rule
(via the include) rather than when the rule is invoked. In all of the
makefiles, SUBDIRS is set after the include. Could that be the problem
you're seeing?

Cheers,
