Sources:
  GNU Make 3.55 w/ patches from gnu.utils.bug up through
05-Sep-89 including the corrections needed for systems having a
union in the name field of their nlist structures.

Environment:
 NeXT running release 0.9
 Compiled with '-bsd' Berkeley compatibility flag (removes function
prototypes from system header files which otherwise cause massive
conflicts).

Problem:
 In load.c, after KERNEL_FILE has been defined, there is a conflict
with internal use of KERNEL_FILE in <sys/file.h>.  This conflict
probably extends to any MACH implementation since 25-Nov-85 according
to the comments in /usr/include/sys/file.h.
 Even if your particular version (patchlevel) of GNU Make doesn't
suffer from this problem, it is lurking - ready to bite.

Patch: (trivial)
