The subject of "make"s seems to be a real bear.  Installed 0.8f last night
(7Jan) and gnumake seemed to run although with some wierd activities.  It
would stop occasionally but entering CR from the keyboard a couple of times
would cause it to go to completion.  However, the two test cases I tried would
not link successfully.  There was a long list of __xxx__ the linker was looking
in libc.a to find that didn't seem to be there.  Missing macros?  The compiles
and archives done by the make file in lib\math seemed to work.  There are a 
number of gnumk362 files on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  I checked them all and they all
have the same executable.

You can use nmake2 which is also on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu but IBM apparently has
their own ideas about the command language and translating the UNIX style
makefiles to work with nmake2 is arduous.  Works well for simple compiles and
links and understands HPFS.

Are we having fun yet?
