While trying to recreate the DJGPP gcc binaries, by following the excellent instructions in readme.DJGPP, I stumbled across this problem that caused me a lot of grief. I used Windows XP for building and even installed Vista as a possible remedy, but to no avail. The same thing happened there.

The last line in libgcc/Makefile.in does an include of *.dep, but somehow in make 4.3 the expansion of this wildcard expression gets truncated somewhere in the middle, and then it complains about not being able to find the file whose name got truncated. I patched around this by splitting it up into multiple chunks of wildcard matches on multiple lines, but this got me further only by a tiny amount. The next problem was that during an "exit 0" in the configuration stage, make would say "memory fouled" and abort.

After switching to make 4.1r2, the build worked beautifully.
