```
Package: git-1.9.0

  Another make command is used in the Makefile when it enters subdir
PERL.

  The used "make" command is a link in my home directory to
"/usr/sfw/bin/gmake".  Other make commands are "/usr/ccs/bin/make" and
"/usr/xpg4/bin/make".

My PATH variable has these directories in this order

$HOME, /usr/sfw/bin, /usr/xpg4/bin and /usr/ccs/bin

  The used variables for make are

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/ssl/include
NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease
NO_TCLTK=YesPlease

  Last part of compilation:

    * new script parameters

Try adding "MAKE = /usr/sfw/bin/gmake".

  I used "gmake" instead of "make" in my script.  I later compiled
"make-4.0" and this bug did not show itself there.  "gmake" was version
3.81.
