No, if using gnu make-3.74 (in my home bin dir) everything runs OK.=20
Using alpha-osf1-v4.0 make(s) (there are *tree* versions of them)=20
don't work; they are

/usr/bin/posix/make,
/usr/opt/ultrix/usr/bin/make,
/sbin/make,
/usr/bin/make (link to /usr/ccs/bin/make)
/bin/make (link to /usr/ccs/bin/make)

Using the make man page, I got it working using

static_drivers_obj =3D $(STATIC_DRIVERS/$/.o)

Gnu make accepts this construct! Can this be a solution?
