Hi Martin,

I think xmakedepend is a piece of junk.  Its only there as an emergency
last-resort for situations where the system doesn't have a usable
makedepend or can't build the cyrus-imapd-makedepend.

So I just made a tiny change to the cyrus-imapd-makedepend and it now
compiles and runs nicely on slough.  Can you please check whether the
following works on *ALL* your Suns:

  cd MITgcm/tools/cyrus-imapd-makedepend
  cvs -q up
  ./configure
  make

and let me know?  The idea is that, if we can get the cyrus-imapd-
makedepend to build and work on the Suns, then it is a *much* superior
solution than mucking around with xmakedepend.

Ed
