GNU finger 1.37 doesn't make on Interactive Unix 2.2.1 using GNU make,
because it doesn't have the .NOEXPORT target in the Makefiles to stop
make from exporting all environment variables, thus ``overflowing the
arg limit on sys V''.

Also on the subject of Makefiles, make realclean doesn't remove config.status.

Finally, it might be good to include rules to remake the Makefile from
Makefile.in using config.status, at least at the top level. I use the
following:

configure: configure.in
	autoconf

config.status: configure
	sh configure --no-create

Makefile: Makefile.in config.status
	sh config.status
