This happens to me with three different versions of make:

- 3.80, no patches applied.
- 3.81, no patches applied.
- 3.81 from Ubuntu Hardy (I haven't looked to see what patches are applied).

I realize that other people have been humming along with *-user builds,
but perhaps the distro that they use patches make appropriately?
(Certainly the set-vpath patch indicates that some distro(s), somewhere,
apply some set of patches to make...?)
