BUG: The permissions on /mit/cygnus/cygnus-930630/common/scripts/gcc
are mode 700; it should be 755.
GNU Make uses the access() call when doing doing a path-search when
trying to execute programs in the makefile. Since the gcc shell script
is mode 700 owned by reidmp, so the access() call fails. Of course,
under AFS the permissions bits don't matter, but GNU Make doesn't know
this.
Hence any attempt to use the gcc from gmake is doomed to failure:
<tytso@tsx-11> {/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/t/y/tytso/test}, Level 3
1% set path = (/mit/cygnus/decmipsbin /bin /usr/bin /usr/ucb /usr/athena /bin/athena)
<tytso@tsx-11> {/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/t/y/tytso/test}, Level 3
2% cat > Makefile
test:
gcc -v
<tytso@tsx-11> {/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/t/y/tytso/test}, Level 3
3% make test
gcc -v
make: gcc: Command not found
make: *** [test] Error 127
FIX: chmod 755 /mit/cygnus/cygnus-930630/common/scripts/gcc
