Nope, you have the right fix.  This change has been in the CVS sources
for a long time now.  That code was obsolete but I forgot to remove it
from the VMS-only section.  I can't build for VMS so I just didn't
notice it.


The next release of GNU make is imminent and I'd really appreciate it if
you could try it out on VMS for me before it goes out the door; you can
get the Release Candidate 2 package here:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.80rc2.tar.gz

(or .bz2 whichever you prefer).

It would be great to get a sanity test on VMS for this release before
the fact.  Thanks!
