And you only need to do that because the code in the makefile says something
like "for foo in ; do ... done".  Personally, I think this is a bug in
the Bourne shell (does anyone out there know what KSH does with empty
lists in "for" statements?)

Right.

I posted details of a client-only build for the Sequent Symmetry, including
diffs, to "comp.sys.sequent" (should I have cross posted to xpert?)
