I'm having a problem with make at work.  I installed djgpp on my
computer at work, trying to duplicate my home installation.  I
also copied over my personal libraries, source code, makefiles,
etc.  But when I try to "make" anything at work I get error "-1",
except in the case of an empty rule.

Even a simple makefile like this bombs out:
blat:
[tab]@echo splat

When I type "make", what it SHOULD do is just print
"splat".  What it does instead is this:
make.exe: *** [blat] Error -1

When I use an "empty" rule it works just fine:

Makefile:
blat:
[tab]

Results:
make.exe: `blat' is up to date.

But if I put ANYTHING after the tab, it bombs.

OS at both locations is MS-Win2K-Pro.

Make version in both locations is djgpp GNU Make version 3.79.1

Anyone have any clues as to what's going on?
