I'll risk explaining the obvious and rephrase: the ``DJGPP-specific
Makefile'' I referred to is the one included in the Make distro; it is
used when you build Make with DJGPP according to instructions.  The
version distributed with make-3.80.tar.gz is broken because the
directory structure of the source distribution has changed, and I
didn't have enough time to download a prerelease tarball, and so
didn't know about the breakage until it was too late.

This problem, of course, doesn't have any effect on the binary you
produce from the source distribution.  The only thing that's broken is
the target in the Makefile that produces the on-line manual, but that
manual doesn't need to be built because it's already included in the
distribution.  The target(s) needed to build make.exe are fully
operational.  So just disregard the complaints from Make when you
build v3.80 (or say "make -k"), and live happily ever after.
