Dear Maintainer of make-3.80,
I just tried to build make-3.80 using
the shell script only, not make, on a cygwin system. Here are the results:

Here compilation stopped with an error,
and the ./build.sh script stopped.
The error message on stderr was:
gcc: ./address@hidden@.c: No such file
or directory
gcc: no input files
(2.1)
So I can't build make with no make already
available.
(2.2)
Just for curiosity: What is that @address@hidden
all about? [ It is clear that @REMOTE@ is a placeholder which should have
been filled in during the run of the ./configure script. ] Does it have
to do with make distributing work to remote computers?
(3)
I could build ./make.exe using the make
that is already installed on my system:
% make all
Because that worked and I did not see
any obvious problems when running the ./configure script, I assume my system
satisfies all requirements, right?
