[9fans] gnubin.tgz weirdness

[andrey mirtchovski <mirtchov@cpsc.ucalgary.ca>]

hi,

I installed the gnubin.tgz file from sources last night (the same time when
X11.iso.bz2 was failing) and even though in uncompressed and installed fine,
I couldn't get 'make' to recognize a single make file.

gnu/gcc would work fine, but make kept complaining about 'no rule to make
target and no makefile found'. if ran with 'make -f Makefile' it worked.

has anyone else experienced that?

ps: Russ, were you trying ape/psh or gnu/gsh for links? gcc compiled most
everything fine, though there was some configure weirdness such as trying to
include <cygwin.h> (the exact monstrosity that returns a false positive is:

for ac_hdr in sys/cygwin.h
do
ac_safe=`echo "$ac_hdr" | sed 'y%./+-%__p_%'`
echo $ac_n "checking for $ac_hdr""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:1934: checking for $ac_hdr" >&5
if eval "test \"`echo '$''{'ac_cv_header_$ac_safe'+set}'`\" = set"; then
  echo $ac_n "(cached) $ac_c" 1>&6
else
  cat > conftest.$ac_ext <<EOF
#line 1939 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <$ac_hdr>
EOF

and so on, and so on... just for those that needed to know :)

this is not related to the make problem, as I have an older, working gcc on
a different machine.
