Make errors in 2.4 drivers/acpi, recursive CFLAGS

Make errors in 2.4 drivers/acpi, recursive CFLAGS

[Keith Owens]

At least one of the reported make errors on drivers/acpi is caused by a
bug in make 3.78 on alpha.  3.79 works on alpha for that user and 3.77
and 3.79 work on ix86 for me.

Anybody getting recursive CFLAG errors on drivers/acpi with make 3.78
should upgrade to 3.79 or downgrade to 3.77.  The recommended version
is 3.77.  If you still get a problem with 3.77 or 3.79, let me know.

I wonder if Gnu Make 3.78.1 has the same problem?

I know of one bug in 3.78.1 where $(if ...) statements which have an
"else" clause screw up the parsing of the "else" clause.  But there
shouldn't be any $(if ...) constructs in the kernel Makefiles.

I guess we'll either have to find the problem and work around it,
or deprecate Gnu Make 3.78.

It did.

  GNU Make version 3.78.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
  Built for alpha-redhat-linux-gnu

Definitely deprecate make 3.78.1.
