It has been some time since this workaround was introduced.  I think
it is either an incompatibility between Emacs CVS and Emacs 21, or one
between Emacs and XEmacs that we are dealing with here.

No harm done, anyway, and thanks for doing the work of checking my
various ideas.  If I had looked more closely, some of this would not
have been necessary: the first code really was quite wrong even on GNU
make.  Sorry for that.
