We are having a problem with GNU Make 3.80 on our Solaris 8 system. When
using the same verion of GNU Make on a GNU Linux system if works fine.
It was pointed out to me that an old copy of GNU make-3.70 worked
fine. Indeed it does. I took the source for the 3.70 and comiled them the
same way I have done the 3.80. The make-3.70 still works as expected.
Have you seen this? I see there is no later version of make available.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks You
Warren Dodge

Now do a gmake all
gmake all

/bin/cp -p orig/file.db .
Then make again and it copies the file again
gmake all
