I wish I had time to deal with this, as I'd post a bug fix and
not just a complaint, but other projects have priority.. Anyway,
compiling the X toolkit widgets with GNU Make, I ran into the
following Highly Odd Behaviour:
meepmeep-> make
rm -f Error.o
cc -c -O -I. -I../.././lib/X -I../../. -I../.././X11 -I/usr/include/bsd -fT -DPC
S -I/usr/include/bsd -I/usr/include/bsd -DERRORDB=\"/usr/lib/X11.3/XtErrorDB\"
.c
rm -f Initialize.o
cc -c -O -I. -I../.././lib/X -I../../. -I../.././X11 -I/usr/include/bsd -fT -DPC
S -I/usr/include/bsd -I/usr/include/bsd -DXAPPLOADDIR=\"/usr/lib/X11.3/app-def
aults/\" .c
rm -f libXt.a
ar clq libXt.a Alloc.o ArgList.o Callback.o CompObj.o Composite.o Constraint.o C
onvert.o Converters.o Core.o Create.o Destroy.o Display.o Error.o Event.o GCMana
ger.o Geometry.o Initialize.o Intrinsic.o Manage.o NextEvent.o Object.o Popup.o
RectObj.o Resources.o Selection.o Shell.o TMparse.o TMstate.o Vendor.o WindowObj
.o
ar: Error.o cannot open
ar: Initialize.o cannot open
make: *** Deleting file `libXt.a'
As you can see, the Initialize.o and Error.o targets somehow had the
names of their .c files stripped (why the C compiler didn't just
blow up at that point, I have yet to determine. There is no file
named ".c"). When I used /bin/make (ordinary boring sys V make)
I got the correct:
meepmeep-> /bin/make
rm -f Error.o
cc -c -O -I. -I../.././lib/X -I../../. -I../.././X11 -I/usr/include/bsd
-fT -DPCS -I/usr/include/bsd -I/usr/include/bsd -DERRORDB=\"/usr/lib/X11.3/XtE
rrorDB\" Error.c
rm -f Initialize.o
cc -c -O -I. -I../.././lib/X -I../../. -I../.././X11 -I/usr/include/bsd
-fT -DPCS -I/usr/include/bsd -I/usr/include/bsd -DXAPPLOADDIR=\"/usr/lib/X11.3
/app-defaults/\" Initialize.c
rm -f libXt.a
ar clq libXt.a Alloc.o ArgList.o Callback.o CompObj.o Composite.o C
onstraint.o Convert.o Converters.o Core.o Create.o Destroy.o Display.o Er
ror.o Event.o GCManager.o Geometry.o Initialize.o Intrinsic.o Manage.o Ne
xtEvent.o Object.o Popup.o RectObj.o Resources.o Selection.o Shell.o TMpa
rse.o TMstate.o Vendor.o WindowObj.o
/bin/true libXt.a
Why is this?

"Was?"
"Uh. Ich moechte ein Mexicanische 'Burrito', bitte."
"Hahahahahahaha.. Das ist ein guter Witz. Du bist toll.."
"Hey! It's real easy, just take some cheese, some meat and
some beans and roll it up like this.."
"Raus!"
