make build from sup 19971117 completed shortly before this bug was found

>Description:
	Due to a misplaced '>' vs. '>>', makewhatis misses all man pages
	that are not pre-formatted (i.e. all .[1-9] pages).
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install a program that includes unformatted man pages in
	  /usr/local/man/man*.
	/usr/libexec/makewhatis /usr/local/man
	notice that man -k program returns 'program: nothing appropriate'
>Fix:
