To compile GNU make 3.54 on an IBM RT w/AOS : 1) Apply enclosed patch (it is a hack but it has been working for me) CAVEAT: This is more of an FYI fix than one I would depend on. I don't have the required knowledge to pursue it any further, but I have figured out where to find the problem (which line in the program bombs). 2) Add -ma to the CFLAGS in Makefile. (You need to do this) 3) Proceed as normal. ========================================================================= Timothy W.
