Re: GNU Make ends up invoking "make"

Nevermind, stupid environment problem.  Sorry for disturbing you all.
Everyone go back to sleep now.  Nothing to look at here...

Hello!  I'm running GNU Make 3.79.1 on AIX 4.3.3 and am running into the
following problem:

GNU Make is on disk as "gmake".
When "gmake" gets invoked for a makefile it turns around and does an exec
of "make"
gmake -d shows it invoking "make" while trying to do a "remake"  (See
output below)

The Makefiles being used never invoke make except via "$(MAKE)"

I inserted a "make" shell script which does nothing but print "Wrong make
invoked!!!"  (See below) and sleep for 10 seconds to verify this was coming
from gmake.

>From a shell prompt, I don't get the above behavior.  When gmake is invoked
from a shell script I do.  The shell script sets MAKE="gmake -d".

I don't have an easily reproducable set of scripts to demonstrate this.
I'll work on getting that together.
