Hi,
After some fiddling I noticed that it was mainly targets that
depended on Makefile that were not being built, for whatever
reason. Also, subr_mcount.o was did not have a {$NORMAL_C}
line with it as all the other targets did (it had nothing---the next
target came straight away). Knocking out all explicit dependence
on Makefile and adding a {$NORMAL_C} line and then compiling as usual
has lead to repeatable success. Neither part is sufficient on its
own.
Is the missing info for subr_mcount in error, in which case config
did something funny. Also, does the screwy Makefile dependency
suggest something happened to mkdep config?
I repeat that immediately after installation everything worked normally.
Something has happened somewhere to confuse things, I just don't know
where. Any ideas?
Thanks
Gavin
