I'm not too familar with the vaguarities of NetBSD's "pmake" yet, so I was
wondering if someone could interpret this diagnostic:

netbsd4me# pwd
/usr/X11R6/src/contrib/programs/xrn-7.03

netbsd4me# xmkmf -a
mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
make Makefiles
"Makefile", line 530: Inconsistent operator for xrn.man
Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

netbsd4me# grep -w -n xrn.man Makefile
...
528:all:: xrn.man
530:xrn.man: xrn-man.src xrn-man.sed
531:    -rm -f xrn-man.tmp
532:    sed -f xrn-man.sed xrn-man.src > xrn-man.tmp
533:    -rm -f xrn.man
534:    mv xrn-man.tmp xrn.man
537:    $(RM) xrn-man.tmp* xrn-man.c xrn-man.sed xrn.man

I've looked in /usr/src/usr.bin/make/parse.c (UTS,L!) and I see

/*-

ParseDoOp (gnp, opp)
    ClientData     gnp;         /* The node to which the operator is to be

    GNode          *gn = (GNode *) gnp;
    int             op = *(int *) opp;
    /*

     */
    if (((op & OP_OPMASK) != (gn->type & OP_OPMASK)) &&
        !OP_NOP(gn->type) && !OP_NOP(op))
    {
        Parse_Error (PARSE_FATAL, "Inconsistent operator for %s", gn->name);
        return (1);
    }   

Parse_Error: I don't parse this  :-)

Is it complaining because "xrn.man" was a dependancy of "all" or what?
Or is it because "xrn.man" depends on "xrn-man.src" and "xrn-man.sed", and
there is a dependancy rule for "xrn-man.sed" but none for "xrn-man.src"
(which is just a plain file, anyway)?  I'm confused ...
