Also, while I'm typing this, has anyone tried making MH6.7 with GNU
make? The makefiles all contain targets that look (to GNU make) like
implied .o -> executable rules, and so it attempts to link all the
library modules, failing of course. This doesn't hurt anything, but
it does take time.
I assume you mean there are things like:
foo: foo.o
and GNU Make tries to link foo from all its dependencies. The cure for this is
to insert:
.o:;
to remove the built-in implicit rule.
