Subject: cbgrx103.zip problem

In cbgrx103.zip, the file makefile.gcc in contrib/libgrx/test
has several problems when using make v3.71:

    (1) The if/else/endif statements:
            !if $d(DEBUG)
            !else
            !endif
        generate syntax errors ("missing separator" on the if-statement).

        I can't find any information on the exclamation marks or the
        $d macro(?).  Does anyone know their purpose?
        Since the intent of the statements seemed clear, 
        I confidently removed the statements to eliminate the gripe.

    (2) After removing the above if/else/endif, make now says:
            "no rule to make target `s.test.'.  Stop."
        A similar message is generated when I try to make wintest.,
        winclip., etc.

        I eliminated this problem by inserting the line:
            ".SUFFIXES : .c ."
        at the top of the makefile.

Are these real, genuine errors (and I'm the first intrepid soul to find them)
or are these symptoms of some sort of installation problem?
