>Description:
Since -DPOSIX was added to the make build, makefiles generated by imake
have broken. This is due to line with white-space (spaces mainly) that
set variables. This is very common in X makefiles; eg.

       TOP = ../../.
>How-To-Repeat:
Find an Imakefile based source tree, and try xmkmf -a...
>Fix:
The quick hack is to comment out -DPOSIX in src/usr.bin/make/Makefile,
and rebuild/install make. I do not know is POSIX explicitly excludes
these types of line from makefiles, but then someone would have noticed
by now ?
