I have made gcc a number of times just fine.  Then I installed GNU make
(3.55) and it just won't go.  I'm sending this as a bug to both products;
you can sort out whose fault it really is.

I have tracked it down to config.status in the Makefile.  It appears that
this rule is always executed for some reason.  This is even true if I do
something like
	touch config.status
	make
Then, because this rule is a kind of error trap, it's all over.

I'm not sure whose problem this really is.  It looks like one of the
enhancements to GNU make may have been overly aggressive; I would have
hoped that old Makefiles would continue to work correctly.  There are
after all, a whole *lot* of existing Makefiles....

Bug in the documentation department: the make docs are tutorial in
nature, and pretty hopeless for reference use.  I'm not going to try
to wade through everything to try to figure this out.
