> About VPATH builds, Solaris make should work

The experience I made with Solaris make is that when I have a Makefile
variable

    MY_SRCS = foo.c

and foo.c is found through the VPATH, then Solaris make will silently
change the Makefile variable to

    MY_SRCS = sourcedir/foo.c

Of course then when I use $(MY_SRCS) in shell commands the result is
not what the Makefile writer intended.

I consider this behaviour too much broken, and refuse to support VPATH
builds with Solaris make in any of my packages.
