There seems to be a problem with make 3.44 running on the Sun 4/260
with Sun OS 4.0.

I'm building the g++ distribution, and when I type

make maketest

I get the following:

----------------------------------------
make clean
make: Fatal error: Unknown option `--'
gmake: *** Error 1
----------------------------------------

This works fine with regular make.

Here's the top part of the maketest rule:

----------------------------------------
maketest:
   make clean
   -ln -s $(DIR)/*.[chy] .
   -ln -s $(DIR)/*.def .
   -ln -s $(DIR)/*.md .
   -rm -f =*
   -ln -s $(DIR)/.gdbinit .
   -ln -s $(DIR)/bison.simple .
   -ln -s $(DIR)/config.gcc .
----------------------------------------

Please let me know if there is additional information you need.

Doug
