me, too. But Debian's seems to have some extra bug fixes. As for Debian
specific bugfixes, see [1].

--------------------------------
Package: make
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 3.81-4
Priority: optional
Section: devel
Maintainer: Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>
Uncompressed Size: 991k
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1)
Suggests: make-doc
Description: The GNU version of the "make" utility.
GNU Make is a program that determines which pieces of a large program need to
be recompiled and issues the commands to recompile them, when necessary. More
information about GNU Make can be found in the `make' Info page. The upstream
sources for this package are available at the location
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/. The documentation for this package does not meet
the Debian Free Software Guidelines, and has been removed from this package.
--------------------------------

I reverted Debian specific patches and repackaged GNU make; this will be
pure GNU make 3.81 release. Next, I reverted Wolfgang's config.mk patch
and tried M54455EVB_config again. But this *still* works fine.

Therefore I believe Debian's patches have no effect on our issue.

At this moment, I'm interested in VPATH (or vpath) on those systems when
finally generating PLATFORM_LIBS. Passing -print-data-base to make will
help in that case.

Otherwise, Fedora or OpenSuSE applies its specific patches on make...

But anyway, it seems the problem is already verified. I'm not going to
dig into further :-)

thanks,

  Shinya
