Hi Alistair,

OK, so we have two issues:

  1) "../../../genmake2 ..." versus "sh ../../../genmake2"

  2) gmake versus "other" make implementations


I just checked in a change for the first that does:

  #! /usr/bin/env sh

instead of 

  #! /usr/bin/env bash

and perhaps that will be more portable.

The second issue is more complicated.  I don't know why or how your
particular "make" implementation is failing.  And, apparently, you're
more interested in complaining than doing something useful like
cutting-and-pasting the actual error message.

So if you want me to "fix" the makefile, then you're going to have to
provide me with access to the machines.  I don't run SSH over a mental
telepathy link.
