Hi.

In trying to build the 2.4.20-pre7-ac1 kernel, I stumbled upon
a make problem. 'make mrproper' doesn't execute completely with
the latest make, but does with 3.79.1.

$  /opt/gnu/bin/make mrproper
make[1]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-pre7-ac1/arch/i386/boot'
rm -f tools/build
rm -f setup bootsect zImage compressed/vmlinux.out
rm -f bsetup bbootsect bzImage compressed/bvmlinux.out
make[2]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-pre7-ac1/arch/i386/boot/compressed'
rm -f vmlinux bvmlinux _tmp_*
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-pre7-ac1/arch/i386/boot/compressed'
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-pre7-ac1/arch/i386/boot'

/opt/gnu/bin/make -C Documentation/DocBook clean

Doing 'make mrproper' with the older make works fine. It looks
like the error is the variable "TOPDIR" isn't getting passed to
the makefile in Documentation/DocBook, so it complains about
the lack of a rule to make target "/Rules.make".
