Strange.  I keep hearing complaints that GNUish make doesn't work, or
locks up the system.  But I've been using GNUish make since before
DJGPP 1.05, and I've never had any problems.  I got it from SIMTEL20.
Is there a corrupt version out there?  Or perhaps it fails only on
todays ultra-fast machines (I have a 386/33)?
