The file make.o doesn't exist.

cd /src/local/src/mit/send/
/bin/make -k
cc -g -c huh.c -DCONVERSE -DBSD42
[... compiles OK...]

cd /src/local/src/mit/send/
/usr/gnubin/make -k
make: *** No way to make target `huh.o'.
make: Target `all' not remade because of errors.
[... exits with code 1 ...]

Here is part of the Makefile (I didn't write it)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
DEFINES = -DCONVERSE -DBSD42

all: send reply huh newsends conversed

[...]
huh: huh.o sendtxt.o
	cc -o huh huh.o sendtxt.o

[...]
.c.o:		$*.c
		cc -g -c $*.c $(DEFINES)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW, /wheaties/usr/gnubin contains the following versions -- somebody
should clean up old, unused `make's.  How do I determine the version
of `make' I am running?
