Problems building GNU make on OSF1 V4.0 alpha

[guptaanunay]

Hello all,

I have to build an application on OSF1 V4.0 alpha machine. For this I
need to have GNU make installed. But, when I try to build GNU make with
the native make, it gives the following errors:-

What can be the possible problem and the solution? Is the GNU make
binaries for this version of OSF1 available?

Any help would be grateful,
Thanks,

Which version of GNU make? Did you unpack
a fresh kit, or are you reusing a source
directory where it was built on some other
system?

My Tru64 is V5.1B (-3?), but to me, this
looks like a major mess. Which GCC are you
using?

Did you do the "./configure" step first? It
seems to have worked for me (GNU make-3.80)
using "./configure CC=cc". Is there anything
interesting in your "config.log"

It might help if you showed _all_ your work
(and all the program versions).
