Ah, yes.  My test of /usr/ccs/bin/make failed but, as I forgot
that the Makefile calls "make" itself which was actually GNU make in my PATH.

(for that reason the Makefile should probably use $(MAKE) instead 
of just "make", and probably pass $(MAKEFLAGS) too when invoking make again)

Apart from that it would be good if the Makefile didn't use syntax
that was so Sun-make specific.
