First: I am running:
garlock{hurst}50: make -v -f /dev/null

The bug?
When a rule is to execute a csh script on a Sun SPARC, I get:

garlock{hurst}63: make test_csh
script.csh 
csh: Permission denied
make: *** [test_csh] Error 1

This works fine on an hp730 running GNUmake made from the
same source. It also works fine when using the native Sun
make. Here is a demo. garlock is a sun4, cobra is an hp730

garlock{hurst}65: make test_csh
script.csh 
csh: Permission denied
make: *** [test_csh] Error 1

garlock{hurst}66: make test_sh
script.sh
sh script here!

garlock{hurst}67: /bin/make test_csh
script.csh 
this is a csh script
garlock{hurst}68:


cobra{hurst}53: make test_csh
script.csh
this is a csh script

cobra{hurst}54: make -v -f /dev/null
