I'm using gmake under openVms 7.2.1 and had to adapt
our product compilation too this OS.

I currently use gmake 3.80 whith some patch applied, and
this work fine.
Applied patchs are:
  - for eval function: 
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=1516&group_id=71
  - for eval function: 
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=1517&group_id=7
  - for correct path parsing: 
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=3018&group_id=71

In addition to this offical pacths, I had to modify gmake to correctly handle
empty string set in command line option (it seems it is not you problem)
(http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&group_id=71&bug_id=5533)

I remember some vfork during makefile writing but dont
remember more details.

Can you send part of your makefile for more help ?
