When make-3.62 (and predecessors) uses this Makefile

hello.o: hello.c .//hello.h
	gcc -c hello.c -o hello.o

with local files named 'hello.c' and 'hello.h', gmake reports that
  gmake: *** No way to make target `/hello.h'.  Stop.

now then, .//hello.h is the same file as ./hello.h, which is the same
as hello.h.

sounds like some name normalizer is screwing up.
