I'll leave that to Karl.

I can't see what's wrong with the rule above, but maybe it is a
following rule that hangs? Can you use a debug feature of BSD make
to see what's going on? If it is a bug of BSD make, it is not a big
deal, but it may also point to a real issue.

Removing -i everywhere is annoying. Are there really platforms we care
about that don't have it? If so, are there scripts to emulate it?

Could you please send diffs/indices.diff and diffs/index_split.diff
files?

Could you please send the file too?
Thanks for the testing!
