building from cvs

I checked out make from cvs today, to see if that version
does fix a
bug we ran into with gcc.  I couldn't easily build make,
because the
'make update' target does not work -- it fails while
downloading from
translationproject.org.  In the end I hacked around this,
but I
thought you'd want to know.  Here's some of the output:

tmppo="/tmp/po-make-3.81.90.$$" 
          && rm -rf "$tmppo" 
          && mkdir "$tmppo" 
          && (cd "$tmppo" 
                && wget --passive-ftp -nv -r -l1 -nd
--no-parent -A '*.po' http://trans
lationproject.org/maint/make) 
          && cp "$tmppo"/*.po po
&& rm -rf "$tmppo"
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-03/msg01663.html

FWIW the cvs make does work.

I'm pretty frustrated -- this patch series for gcc has been
an
enormous pain, and then at the end it is sunk by a
known-and-fixed
make bug.  Bleah.

I thought I'd committed a fix for this.  I'll do it when I
get home.
Thanks.
