OK, one more thing to look up :-(.   Anyway, I changed my build script 
to do --
<quote>
(  cd $SRCDIR ; ./configure . . . && make ) 2>&1 | tee build.log
That did, indeed, avoid the infinite recursion on the make.  Still not a 
success, but things are looking up.

My remaining problems look like this:

Each compilation includes the warning:
<quote>
ignoring duplicate directory "/usr/local/include"
  as it is a non-system directory that duplicates a system directory
ignoring duplicate directory "/usr/X11R6/include"
</quote>
However, the later output of "Include path" does include the 
/usr/local/include. 
I guess the question is, 'what is the basis for gcc concluding that /u 
/l /i "duplicates a system directory.  It is, in fact,
a couple of items from /usr/include, with modifications to avoid some 
compiler warnings.  I do not get the warnings I
was trying to avoid, so I will assume the "ignoring duplicate directory 
. . ." is specious.  I really detest specious warnings because they're 
so damn hard to get rid of.


At the end of a long linker pass I get:
<quote>
(/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.dll.a)d000000.o
(/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.dll.a)d001246.o

And, indeed, rxvt(.exe) is not made.  To me, that means this `make` run 
was a failure.

But the very end of the run shows:
<quote>

So, it seems there are a few things amiss about this `make` setup.
