Having had difficulty with installing make version 3.62 when I first
downloaded it a couple of weeks ago, I put it on the shelf.

Upon returning to it today, I find that I cannot figure out why I
get a core-dump when trying to run it on either AIX/RS6000 or SCO Unix
machines.  Under SCO Unix, for example, I tracked it down to line
636 in job.c, where it attempts to to a simple "puts" string output.
I get a core-dump in the memcpy routine.  The argument to puts looks,
for all intents and purposes, valid.

What's the trick to installing 3.62 on an RS6000 or an SCO Unix box?
The instructions in the Makefile do not mention either of these
platforms at all, so I gather I have something misconfigured in it.

I would like to get 3.62 running on the RS6000, because I never did get
3.59 to work correctly on that system.  We've been using 3.59 for a
year or so under SCO Unix, but with some degree of bugginess when it
comes to using complicated makefiles with a lot of variables.
