I have uploaded to DJ's /incoming directory the binary distribution of a 
pretest 3.76.90 of the next release of GNU Make (mak3769b.zip).  Please 
try it and tell me if you see any abnormal/unexpected/strange results 
(keep the old binary under a different name, for comparison purposes).

DJ, maybe it's a good idea to put it in .alphas/ on SimTel.NET, so people 
could access it easier?

This release has one major new feature (target-specific variables) and 
many bugfixes; see the file NEWS for details.  On the DJGPP-specific 
front, the ``file mod time is in the future'' warning should never appear 
(if it does, please tell me).  For now, this problem is solved very 
crudely (I'm working on a better solution), but at this stage I would 
like at least to know whether there are any more surprises here.

I didn't upload the sources (too much hassle ;-), so if you want to 
rebuild from sources, download the pretest from the URL below and ask me 
about a DJGPP-specific patches which I sent to the maintainer.

        ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make-3.76.90.tar.gz

Thanks in advance for any help in testing this.
