It would help if you can post a /minimal/ makefile that demonstrates the problem.right here - there is no fewer statements that can be done to make a makefile which creates a makefile which creates a makefile (and no that's not redunant). It was a attached - here it is done verbatim.
I suppose I can strip off the remake - since if make actually worked, it would be unessecary....
