Have you tried different Makefiles to see whether the problem was with `make' itself? In any event, here's how to get some sense out of that error. First, make a debugging version of the `make' executable: # gcc -g -o /usr/bin/make_g /usr/src/usr.bin/make/*.c \ > /usr/src/usr.bin/make/lst.lib/*.c -I/usr/src/usr.bin/make \ > -DDEFSHELL=1 Then try and reproduce the error with `make_g' instead of `make'. If it does the same thing, do this: $ gdb /usr/bin/make_g make_g.core [copyright msgs snipped] (gdb) <-- Type 'where' at this prompt and send us the output.
