OK.  I've run across this before, and it should be fairly easy
to fix.  If you just look for where Dir_FindFile goes on, and
the fstat'ing, and so on, and trace this down to the simplest
failure case, and fix it.  I'm not the make maintainer, and as
I was reminded "make belongs to all of us", you surely can find
someone else who would do it.

I'm sorry I can't help you, it's just too hard to work on make.

Thanx,
juli.
