Subject: still can't build hard-params with VPATH gcc 1.35.98

Summary::
	The subject line says it all.  Some implementations of
	 make(1) do not support	the VPATH feature. Calling
	such makes explicitly from recursive GNU makes can lose.

Version::
	gcc 1.35.98

Hardware::
	Pyramid 90x running OSx 4.0

Fix::
	Apply the following change:

*** Makefile	Mon Sep  4 16:33:11 1989
--- Makefile.new	Wed Sep  6 16:57:48 1989
