Shawn,

    I believe I'm using the same PD "make" on my 3000 with SAS/C, and other
than not being able to "peek into" libraries, it has (so far) worked
*identically* to the UNIX make that I've been using for over three years on
various UNIX and Xenix systems.  I think the problem you are experiencing
is because you haven't told make what suffixes to pay attention to.  Add the
following line to the end of your "builtins.make" file:

.SUFFIXES: .o .c .h

And whatever other suffixes you're dealing with (i.e.: using "rcs"?, add
".c,v" and ".h,v" to the list.  Using assembler?, add ".a" or ".s" and
".inc" to the list).  If you're still having a problem, let me know, and
I'll fetch and post my builtins.make.
