I'm using BETA5 and problem still exists. I found a post suggesting it was
an environment issue in a similar vein to Emanuel's link and found the
workaround. 

It does appear that you need to either start you root xterm/aterm with
"-ls"... or you need to "su -" instead of just "su" to be able to "make"
properly. Eterm works because it starts as a login shell by default. xterm &
aterm do not.

This bug also affected my ability to do a make installkernel.

I'm not a coder so I have no idea what in the environment causes a login
shell to work & a non-login shell not work.

Thanks,
Phil.
