No, I have not contacted him.  If you could do that, I would
appreciate it.

Agreed.  In fact, it does work fine when working in the same
directory.  Its when sources are in a different directory that it
fails to find the them.  This is probably related to the other make
bugs that I've reported.  If make does not get fixed, I'll probably
just include "gnumake" as part of the sources and use that.

Thanks, Ted!
