I am having difficulty with trying to specify a VPATH macro.  It looks like
it is being ignored.  I have tried using versions 3.27 and 3.44 on Apollo's
running SR9.7 and on Sun 3's running SunOS 4.  The problem is very easy to
duplicate:

cd make-3.44                        # Go to your GNU Make directory.
make make                           # Make sure that GNU Make is up to date.
mkdir bin                           # Make a directory to do a make in.
cd bin                              # Go to it.
../make -f ../Makefile VPATH=..     # Make make with the source from ..

This last command works if I use one of the Apollo or Sun supplied make's.
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
