Are you using GNU make or AIX's make? You need to be using GNU make. Run 'make -v' to find out. If it's GNU, you'll know based on the output. If it gives you an error, then it's not GNU make.

Hello, I am trying to compile gcc and am using gnu Make 3.8.0: make CFGLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' \LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap in AIX 4.3.3 I am getting a series of errors as follows. I've checked through the Makefile itself but I don't understand what is wrong. Is there a certain format or set of spaces, tabs required? ---------------------------------- Target "all" is up to date.
