I have been trying to build postgres v2r0 on my Sun 3 running SunOS
4.0.3 but the makefile keeps bombing. I dropped back and decided to just
build 'inh' instead of 'everything' and ran into a couple of problems.

	1) The genlinks target in the inh.mk module trys to define links but
	   fails for some unknown reason. I can define the links manually but 
	   the makefile can't.

	2) After defining the links manually, inh.mk blows up on the .c.o 
	   target with the following message:

.c.o:
        @ echo compiling $(<F) ; \
cd $(@D) ; cc $(CFLAGS) -c $(<F)
sh: syntax error at line 2: `(' unexpected
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target
`/usr2/postgres/obj.sunos4/lib/Gen/i
nh.o'
done

This happens to be in the section of inh.mk that has the comment 

#
# note that we do not include defaults.mk
# for this wierd set 'o compiles
#

Even if they did include a defaults.mk they wouldn't find it because it
is named default.mk (no plural). So I am stumped. We want to build
postgres for a project 
but this has killed our progress.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
