I had the same problems when I loaded emx 0.8f but the solution was just to
take a little while to build make again.  Unzip make and the sources.  Go into
the source subdirectory and issue a make command.  Once it has stopped doing
anything, you need to enter a control-c (to break make) and then issue a
make again.  It will take you about 15-30 minutes to do this and I believe
there is an error in the source to one of the c files.  It wants to use a
function int max(int a, int b) which is not defined anywhere.  Simply add it
it in (2 lines of code) in the appropriate file and you should be set.
