Anyone successfully built the emacs 19.22 from the Walnut Creek FreeBSD 1.1 
distribution disk (on FreeBSD 1.1R system)? If so, is there any undocumented 
magic?

Copied it from /mnt/ports/editor/emacs to /usr/ports/editor/emacs. Did a make. 
The build proceeded for quite awhile and built a bunch of images. It then 
stops with error #2, "make: don't know how to make make" shortly before it 
tries to build emacs proper.

Checked the FAQ, didn't find anything appropriate. Thanks.
