To clarify, as indicated by the Austin group link (beware: pointer chasing there), this is not "depending on GNU make", but "depending on anything but IRIX make". And reading again, I was wrong on the safe side re: IRIX; "all known makes" were ok, including IRIX 6.5 (just that it supported "only" one level of indirection, that's what's used here). So, "should work everywhere" with a definition of "everywhere" four years ago being "IRIX 6.5, AIX 4.3.3, Tru64 4.0D, Solaris 2.6, HP-UX 10.20, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and of course GNU". brgds, H-P
