I have experienced the same thing with our makefiles.. We are using
a very old version on our UNIX machines, and the newer one which
comes with the b18 release. I am in the situation of needing to move
to the newer make, so I think the possible solution would be to:
In the make program there has to be some place where the variables
internal to make are being set.. Simply do a setenv() in that routine,
and the submakes should receive those same variables. I have not implemented
this yet, just an idea.
