Should one assume that if the package is a GNU package that gnu make is
going to be required to make it?  Some packages tell me, others seem to
make just fine with other brands of make while still others seem to
depend on GNU make without specifying.

For instance, I am using SunOS 4.1.2, gcc 2.2.2 and gnu make 3.62 .  When
I try to make regex 0.11 by saying make all, I get a series of compile
statements, then the error:

gcc -O -o regex  dregex.o printchar.o upcase.o xmalloc.o alloca.o test.o bsd-interf.o other.o tregress.o psx-basic.o psx-extend.o psx-generic.o psx-group.o psx-interf.o psx-interv.o main.o
ld: Undefined symbol
   start
   _re_exec
   _re_comp
   .udiv
ld: entry point not in text
collect: /usr/bin/ld returned 2 exit status
gmake[1]: *** [regex] Error 1
gmake: *** [all] Error 1

If I try to just say gmake without an argument, I get an attempt to generate
regex.dvi and then the message:

gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `default'.

Finally, if I type gmake install, I get
$  gmake install
for d in doc test; do (cd $d; gmake  CPPFLAGS='' CFLAGS='-g' CC='gcc -O' DEFS='-DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DUSG=1' LDFLAGS='' LOADLIBES='' install); done
mkdir /projects/gnu/sun4 /projects/gnu/sun4/info
mkdir: /projects/gnu/sun4: File exists
mkdir: /projects/gnu/sun4/info: File exists
gmake[1]: *** [install] Error 1 (ignored)
for i in *.info*; do /bin/install -c -m 644 $i /projects/gnu/sun4/info/$i; donegmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `install'.

because the regex.info files were not rebuilt .

I cannot tell if I am having a package problem or if it has to do with a gcc
or gnu make configuration problem.  Does anyone have any insights?
