I've been merrily bringing up gnu make on our dozen different machines,
when it refused to run on our AT&T 3b2.  I'm using make 3.57 under
sVr3.2 (I think).  

It core-dumps if I ask it for a version.  printf() is called from
print_version() with what seem to be OK arguments, but printf dies.
That could be a bug in their printf, but I'm curious if anybody else
has heard of the same thing.

Additionally, it has a hard time finding the Makefile.  It just
complains about not being able to make the target unless I specify 
"-f Makefile", in which case it coredumps unless I specify silent
operation (printf again).  Then it sort-of works, but still doesn't do
all it's supposed to.  But one bug at a time.

Any suggestions?
