Problems building gnu make on Winnt 4.0

[James Schrumpf]

First off, I am not a c programmer.  This exercise has been mandated by 
changes in my production environment, and is supposed to be a no-brainer.  
It has turned into a nightmare.

I'm trying to build the gnu make-3.79.1 on my WinNT 4.0 server machine with 
sp 6a.  I've installed MSVC++ 6.0 and the MKS Toolkit 7.01 into directories 
with no whitespace in their names.

I have made the following definitions in my config.h.W32 file:

/* Define if you support file names longer than 14 characters.  */
#undef HAVE_LONG_FILE_NAMES
#define HAVE_LONG_FILE_NAMES 1

/*
 * If you have a shell that does not grok 'sh -c quoted-command-line'
 * correctly, you need this setting. Please see below for specific
 * shell support.
 */
#define BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SHELL 1
#undef BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SHELL

/*
 * Define if you have the MKS tool set or shell. Do NOT define
 * BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SHELL if you define HAVE_MKS_SHELL
 */
#define HAVE_MKS_SHELL 1

/* Define if you prefer Case Insensitive behavior */
#define HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS 1



Everything else I have left alone, as they make reference to items about 
which I know nothing.

When I run the command 'nmake /f NMakefile, I get many errors in the 
compilations for WinRel.  I get the same errors for WinDebug:

The link command 'link @C:\TEMP\nma00307.' seems to go OK.  However running 
the run_make_tests script fails on 10 of the tests with an 
interrupt/exception error, and trying to use the resulting make.exe results 
in the same interrupt/exceptions being caught.

When I use the build_w32.bat scripts I get the same errors, but the script 
reports that WinRel and WinDebug have built correctly.  I still get the 
interrupt/exeption errors.

Here is the text from the .diff files of the failed tests:

And here is the error message from the make when used to try and relink my 
executables:

make: Interrupt/Exception caught (code = 0xc0000005, addr = 0x41a4da)

I have installed the MSVC++ 6.0 and the MKS Toolkit on three different 
servers and have gotten the same results.  I've also tried using the gnu-
make.3.78.1 source and gottn the same results.  This has become a critical 
point of failure for me and is driving me nuts.

Any and all help will be worshipped.
