	We're running on Sun3's with SunOS 4.  I can't give you a bug fix
because I don't have one, but I can tell you that this happened to me (just
so you realize that you aren't crazy!).  I built 18.53 (from scratch!) fine
for about 60 times in a row.  When I finally got it the way I liked it, I
moved the libraries, etc. (no, i didn't forget to change my paths.h)  and
noticed the bug you mentioned:  temacs hangs when i do make, but works fine
when i do it manually.
