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.

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.
