Thanks to the three respondants, particularly Kevin who gave the suggestion to use gmake. This worked
a treat.

Thanks

You need to use gnu make (gmake). This is a frequently reported
problem, but I have never seen it since I always used gnu make. Then I
built XEmacs on my new system and got the same failure you are
seeing. I built gnu make and everything worked fine.

Bob-
Did you first run ./config ?
I tried briefly this morning to build xemacs-20.4 on a du4.0B system using
cc.   My problem is that I get the following error message.

I used the Digital cc compiler to build xemacs on our system and it
worked fine.
