Sorry to bring up and old subject (to comp.bugs.sys5 at least).  I seem to
recall a number of patches to make for various flavors of Unix.  I'm not sure
if there was one to fix macro substitution on SystemV3.1.  In particular, our
version seems to 

If there was such a fix posted, I apologize for not having pulled it out of
the stream as it went by.  Could some kind soul please send me such a fix if it
exists?  (Yes we have a 3.1 source license).  Diffs would be very nice.  If not,
I guess I'll go convince the 'keepers of the source code' to let me have a copy
of make and start de-obfuscating things... :-\

Thanks,

OOPS.  Let's try this again and see if my fingers will listen this time...

Macro substitution only seems to work only for final strings.  Thusly:

	bar = food.c foo.c boo.c
	list1 = $(bar:o.c=x.y)

will result in

	$(list1) <==> food.c fox.y box.y

However

	bar = food.c foo.c boo.c
	list1 = $(bar:fo=r)

Does NOT result in

	$(list1) <==> rod.c ro.c boo.c

Just as a guess, it looks like it could be a problem with doing a strcmp
rather than a strncmp...

Anyway, if anyone has a fix, I would *greatly* appreciate it if they could
send me a copy via email.  We are running plain vanilla SysV3.{1,2}

Thanks,
