No

make used execvp on VMS. As such it then used VAXC$PATH to find the item to invoke.

VAXC$PATH as well as DCL$PATH are defined in GNV_SETUP.COM but are only set to the quivalent of /bin and when this was discovered cc was in /usr/bin so the invocation failed.

even it we remove execvp we still have to then make sure we have a path that works.

One alternative is to keep both VAXC$PATH and DCL$PATH and make sure we have the right path items in them...

    Most make changes will likely be deferred until we can merge the gnv fork of make with the upstream GNU make.

    This has been fixed in the GNV fork of GNU Make.

    Leaving in open-fixed until the GNV Fork of make is properly merged into the upstream GNU Make.
