Okay ... Yes, I'm trying to get myself a DOS version of glibc. Actually,
an i386-pc-none version, but :) I downloded bash so configure would work
and finally determined that as my machine type. Now ... make is not
being nice to me. It starts and then spits this out:

----------------------------> snip here <-------------------------------

Too many parameters - sysdeps

----------------------------> snip here <-------------------------------

The code in Makerules (included into Makefile) that seems to be causing
the problem is this:

----------------------------> snip here <-------------------------------
# Some sysdep makefiles use this to distinguish being included here from
# being included individually by a subdir makefile (hurd/Makefile needs
this).
in-Makerules := yes

ifndef avoid-generated
-include $(+sysdir_pfx)sysd-Makefile
ifneq ($(sysd-Makefile-sysdirs),$(config-sysdirs))
sysd-Makefile-force = FORCE
FORCE:
endif
$(+sysdir_pfx)sysd-Makefile: $(+sysdir_pfx)config.make $(..)Makerules \
			     $(sysd-Makefile-force)
	-@rm -f $@T
	(echo 'sysd-Makefile-sysdirs := $(config-sysdirs)';		      \
	 for dir in $(config-sysdirs); do	   			      \
	   file=$$dir/Makefile;						      \
	   case $$dir in						      \
	     /*) rel= ;;						      \
	     *)  rel=$(..) ;;						      \
	   esac;							      \
	   if [ -f $$rel$$file ]; then					      \
	     case $$dir in						      \
	       /*) echo include "$$file" ;;				      \
	       *)  echo include "\$$(..)$$file" ;;			      \
	     esac;							      \
	   else true; fi;						      \
	 done;								      \
	 echo 'sysd-Makefile-done=t') > $@T
	mv -f $@T $@
endif
----------------------------> snip here <-------------------------------

However, commenting out the backslashes gives this:

----------------------------> snip here <-------------------------------
bash-2.03$ make
Makerules:120: *** commands commence before first target.  Stop.
bash-2.03$
----------------------------> snip here <-------------------------------

So ... if I leave the code as is it croaks. If I modify it to change
that
appears to be the problem it croaks. I tried putting it all on one line
and
it's 324 charas ... and I don't think I can get it below 255; I
certainly
don't have the shell programming knowledge to create an equivalent,
shorter
version. I've uploaded makefile and makerules here:

http://kourino.otakuwars.org/Makefile
http://kourino.otakuwars.org/Makerules
http://kourino.otakuwars.org/Makeconfig

And I'm just invoking make with no arguments. Please, any help that you
can
give me would  be greatly appreciated!
