However, it works with the vendor's make for: Solaris, AIX, HPUX, Tru64. 
Given the statements in this thread, it is apparent that none of those 
conform to POSIX either, making NetBSD's the sole conforming 
implementation.

sarcasm aside, I suspect that the reason for the breakage is more mundane, 
e.g., a problem in NetBSD's handling of the variable $o in the suffixes 
line, making it go off on a tangent someplace.
