GNU Make now handles variable substitutions differently, see the 
discussion here: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65533
This causes it to sometimes fire exponentially more sub-processes than 
before.

Some other ports that use a lot of variable substitutions in a 
particular way would also be affected, but science/nwchem is acutely 
affected, to the point that it times out.


I will add devel/gmake43 to remedy this situation.





Yuri
