   When this happens, it usually means that there's a quoting problem,
   which isn't obvious from the make output (quotes are gone already)
   so that what is cut+pasted into the shell isn't actually what make
   ran, but instead the obvious correct thing that should be run.


lukem found the bug in this case - it was the difference between the
command echoed by a rule and the command make run.  eg:

foo:
	@echo cc hello.c
	@cc -g hello.c

i was pasting the echo'ed command, not the one that make actually ran.


luke has since removed all rules like this i believe :-)
