- Make is not the culprit in this case. You have a broken /bin/sh
- (bash). I came up against this problem, when I upgraded to 0.99.
- Stubborn as I am, I even recompiled make twice, before I caught on.
- :-) After that I was too worked up to start compiling bash, so I
- simply switched to zsh as a temporary solution. So, get a working sh
- and everything should be ok.
