Subject: perl5.004 on 1.2/i386, anyone?

After running "./configure --prefix=/foo", here's what i get from "make
depend":

  jabberwocky% make depend
  sh ./makedepend
  /usr/bin/make depend MAKEDEPEND=
  sh ./makedepend
  ...
  sh ./makedepend
  /usr/bin/make depend MAKEDEPEND=
  Cannot fork
  *** Error code 2

This is a loop as ./makedepend calls "make depend", and "make depend"
calls ./makedepend... but the really funny thing is, this only happens on
the i386 port, it works fine on the amiga and sparc port of NetBSD 1.2.
(No, no 1.2.1 here).

Anyone who knows a fix?

(And yes, this has been tried from unmodifies sources!)


TIA,

	Hubert
