Ok.  Is the new build generally self-contained and independent of the POSIX=
 platform it is running on?  The current build appears to have been able to=
 build on BSD 4.1 and BSD 4.2, so while it hasn't yet run successfully=
 end-to-end, most of the problems just seem to be related to the changes=
 since BSD 4.2.

I tried this:

#!/bin/sh
: $Id: rm_deps,v 1.2 1994/06/23 13:47:02 ceriel Exp $

: remove dependencies from a makefile, write result on standard output.
: we cannot do this directly in a makefile because some make versions
: have # start a comment, always.

sed -e '/^#DEPENDENCIES/,$d' $1
echo '#DEPENDENCIES'

> make depend
=2E/util/int/M.warn_h ./doc/int/appA
=2E/util/int/M.trap_msg ./etc/traps
=2E/util/int/M.warn_msg ./doc/int/appA
rm_deps Makefile >Makefile.new
rm_deps: not found

(the "." represents the path on my machine, which I've deleted for public co=
nsumption)

If I add the path to the rm_deps file, with or without the #!/bin/sh, I get=
 a radically different output (with other failures due to .SUF files not=
 found).  In some of the other Makefiles (specifically in lang/cem/lint),=
 there is a UTIL_BIN defined, which piggybacks on $(UTIL_HOME)/bin, exactly=
 what I need (RM_DEPS=3D$(UTIL_BIN)/rm_deps). =20

thanks,
