HELP! The make utility of Manx 3.4a seems EXTREMELY buggy. I have a program
with 17 modules. The compiles run, but when it comes time to link, I
get guru messages (e.g. 00000004.0000a708 - sometimes the first part
is different; also got 00000004.0001e640. By very slow experimentation
(frequent warm boots) I've determined that either a) a dependency on
more than 16 files causes trouble, or b) the order of inclusion
of .o files is to blame. Both ln and lb cause the problem - actually
I think it's the dependency line, not the command line that is
not being handled properly.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and is there a fix or a
work-around? Anyone from Manx listening?
