Unfortunately, we really don't have anyone available to investigate make
problems.  However, you've done extensive amounts of testing and
produced a voluminous email message so you obviously have an
analytical mind.

The only thing you haven't done is download the sources for make and
see if you can fix this behavior, or at least understand it.

One of the advantages of a free software project is that you always
have the sources available for figuring out problems like this.

I would welcome any patch that you provide to fix this behavior or,
if you can narrow down the problem to a section of code in make
that would be good too.
