[Lorensen, William E (Research)]

Great. I probably should build a new version of gmake.

Thanks

I took a look at this, and it would seem that gnu make 3.75 (last release 1995)
does not work.

However, gmake 3.79.1 works fine on linux, solaris, and cygwin.

Also /bin/make -P works on the SGI, and runs in parallel.
