OK; I'll ignore it.  It can be confusing when a make produces a lot of
things that look like error messages but aren't. ;-)

The code was just downloaded from cvs, the current "stable" version.
I didn't have a CC in the environment.  I added CC=/usr/bin/gcc (which
is the same as /usr/bin/cc), but that had no effect.

Yeah; I sorta noticed that, and the multiple spaces in the command.
It looks like a bunch of Makefile macros came up undefined.  Maybe
I'll have to dig into the Makefile and see what it's trying to do.

I was sorta hoping that, since it's the current "stable" release,
someone else had seen the same symptoms and could say "Oh, yeah;
you just ...."
