Hi...

	Well, I've sup'd in all the new stuff, and did my make depend,
but when it seems to be right at the end of 'make', it fails with:

cc -c -O -W -Wreturn-type -Wcomment -Wredundant-decls -Wimplicit  -Wnested-externs  -nostdinc -I. -I../.. -I../../sys -I../../../include -DI386_CPU -DPCVT_PRETTYSCRNS -DPCVT_SCREENSAVER -DPCVT_FREEBSD=210 -DSYSVMSG -DSYSVSEM -DSYSVSHM -DUCONSOLE -DBOUNCE_
BUFFERS -DSCSI_DELAY=15 -DCOMPAT_43 -DPROCFS -DMSDOSFS -DFFS -DINET -DMATH_EMULATE -DJREMOD -DKERNEL -DMAXUSERS=10 param.c
Makefile:4: *** missing separator.  Stop.
*** Error code 2

Stop.


	Now, usually a 'missing separator', from my experience, refers
to a missing tab or something...doesn't it?  Well, here's the top of
my Makefile in ../../compile/hub, and, line 4 turns out to be the '# Copy...'
line (IDENT is all one line, until -DJREMOD):

KERN_IDENT=HUB
IDENT= -DI386_CPU -DPCVT_PRETTYSCRNS -DPCVT_SCREENSAVER -DPCVT_FREEBSD=210 -DSYS
VMSG -DSYSVSEM -DSYSVSHM -DUCONSOLE -DBOUNCE_BUFFERS -DSCSI_DELAY=15 -DCOMPAT_43
 -DPROCFS -DMSDOSFS -DFFS -DINET -DMATH_EMULATE -DJREMOD
PARAM=-DMAXUSERS=10

.if exists(./@/.)
S=      ./@
.else
S=      ../..
.endif
I386=   ${S}/i386


	Then again...if the Makefile was "corrupt", it shouldn't compile
anything else, let alone fail on the last segment of the compile...should
it?

	Any ideas of where I should look on this?  I've tried doing a
'config hub' again, to wipe out everything and rebuild the compile
directory, no go.  And I haven't modified 'Makefile.i386' in the
i386/conf directory...

	Ideas are welcome...

Thanks..
