It's slightly sub-optimal to have make -n dump core:

    bledsoe[~][88] cd src/macros
    bledsoe[~/src/macros][89] /usr/bin/X11/xmkmf
    imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/lib/X11/config
    bledsoe[~/src/macros][90] make -n
    UX:make: ERROR: make: file `Makefile' line 419: Must be a separator (: or ::) for rules (bu39)
    UX:make: ERROR: make: file `Makefile' line 421: Must be a separator (: or ::) for rules (bu39)
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)
    Exit 139
    bledsoe[~][62] which make
    /sbin/make

The Imakefile is the new macros one, Craig and the same thing happened
which I use /usr/athena/bin/xmkmf.  The lines in question looked like
unexpanded macros (build_program, create_depend), so I tried 'xmkmf
/source', and sure enough that works.  In any case, I'd rather not have
make dump core.  'Course that may be beyond our power to fix, but that's
a different story.
