[Bug bootstrap/16837] New: "make bootstrap" forgets which make to use

[scott dot bailey at eds dot com]

I have GNU make as /usr/local/bin/make, and the native Tru64 5.1B make 
in /usr/bin/make. If I do this:

# PATH=/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin; export PATH
# which make
/usr/local/bin/make
# make bootstrap

Then the compiler will get built (all stages), and then the bootstrap dies 
with a bizarre Makefile error at the point where it is starting to build the 
libraries. I hypothesize that at some point things are getting confused and 
the native (wrong) 'make' utility gets invoked. Typing instead:

# /usr/local/bin/make bootstrap

allows the entire build (compilers and libraries) to complete successfully.

I had not observed this behavior with any previous gcc builds (up through 
3.3.3).

Where is the error log?
JUst the last couple of lines is enough.

I regret to report that apparently I am a crackpot. :-)

My original build directory had gotten reused multiple times while I worked
to get gcc-3.4.1 built originally, and then got deleted.

I now have spent the last two days attempting to reproduce the problem for
you, and find that I cannot. Several steenkin' variations and every one of
them got past the failure point with no problems. I guess you can close out
this report and I will be more careful after the next release appears. :-)

Thanks again,

	Scott
