When building binutils2.0,
  host=sparc-sun-sunos4.1 target=68k-sun-sunos4.1
in a separate directory (as encouraged for building cross development tools),
a bug in opcodes/Makefile was exposed.

in opcodes/Makefile, line 134, the macro expansion of DODIRS is empty.
This means that one ends up with
	for i in ; do .....
which is illegal sh syntax; sh wants to see a set of iterates
containing at least one element, not zero elements.
