What does "make --version" say?

A rule of the form:

	target: ... | ...

is an order-only dependency, which requires GNU make 3.81. In 6.x,
this syntax is normally conditional upon "ifneq ($(BROKEN_MAKE),)". It
appears that someone back-ported from 7.0 (where GNU make 3.81 is a
requirement) without changing this.

That should be handled by this rule in gui/wxpython/scripts/Makefile:

	$(SCRIPTDIR)/%.py: %.py | $(SCRIPTDIR)
		$(INSTALL) $< $@

But that rule might be rejected due to the "|" issue.
