GNU make does not compile caused by bad makefiles

[Joerg Schilling]

'gmake' does not compile in case you use 'smake'

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/smake/alpha/

The reason is that GNU make comes with two files:

        SMakefile & glob/SMakefile

that contain no valid 'make' syntax.

GNU make first looks for the following files:

        "GNUmakefile", "Makefile", "SMakefile",

smake does a similar thing and looks for:

        "SMakefile", "Makefile", "makefile",

smake uses this method in order to be able to bootstrap a
smake compilation with a "dumb" make program.

Expected fix for this problem:

        Remove SMalefile & glob/SMakefile from the gmake source
        distribution.
