tabs in Makefiles breaking older make

[David Hill <dd...@zk3.dec.com>]

Hi,
    The stock Tru64 make command does not like extra tabs. Personally I prefer to use gnu make and we all know that gnu make has no qualms with this but I would still ask that someone apply the attached patch to fix src/Makefile.in and src/build/rules.mk anyway.

An easy way to find these is using egrep '^^I$' with ^I a tab

thanks,
    Dave Hill

{grumble}  Why are T64U's 'standard' tools based on antique
versions, anyway?  I always have to upgrade make, named,
patch, sed, sendmail, and m4 before I can work with any
distributions off the 'net..

BTW, can you please resubmit the patch either as an inline
unidiff (preferred) or as a text/plain attachment?  It came
through as application/octet-stream.
