From /usr/athena/lib/X11/config/Imake.tmpl:
----------------------------------------------------
#define BeforeVendorCF
#include <site.def>
#undef BeforeVendorCF
----------------------------------------------------
From /usr/athena/lib/X11/config/site.def:
----------------------------------------------------
#ifdef BeforeVendorCF
#define ATHENA
#if defined(VaxArchitecture) || defined(sparc) || defined(SparcArchitecture)
#define HasGcc YES
#endif
----------------------------------------------------
From /usr/athena/lib/X11/config/site.def:
----------------------------------------------------
#if HasGcc
#if HasGcc2
#define OptimizedCDebugFlags -O2
#else
#define SharedLibraryCcCmd cc
#define ExtraLoadFlags -B/usr/bin/
#define AllocateLocalDefines /**/
#endif
.c.o:
$(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $*.c
#else
----------------------------------------------------
By specifying HasGcc, the suffix .c.o has been redefined. This redefinition
overrides gnu make suffix definition and therefore gnu make ignores the VPATH
variable when searching for source files. I contend that redefining the .c.o
suffix definition is unnecessary. This does raise the question as to whose
problem this is - the XConsortium or GNU.
