Team:
The install step for building guile 2.0.11 fails after successful
compile on amd 64 bit FreeBsd 10.0. The error message is
install: : No such file or directory
where the item being installed has a blank name.
At the suggestion of mark_weaver on IRC, i tried 'gmake' instead of
'make' and the install went through successfully.
The thinking is that there is something non-portable in the make file.
Thanks,
wglb

Hi :)
I think we are happy to look at patches to support non-GNU make but
without follow-through from a reporter we aren't going to make efforts
in this direction; too many other things to do :)
If you can track down the issue, please let us know and we'll see what
we can do. Mark, Ludo, feel free to re-open if you feel like this is
not the right way to go about things.
Cheers,
Andy
