Comment(by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:13 kyngchaos]:
 > I think I had originally done it your way in the top level makefile, but
 glynn changed it.  Or he changed something similar elsewhere, and I
 changed this case to match.

 Note that I hardly ever touch 6.x. Most of the problems stem from trying
 to back-port isolated parts of 7.x to 6.x, when the changes to the build
 system are highly inter-dependent. But back-porting the entire build
 system would run into problems with "unusual" modules (most of which have
 been eliminated from 7.x).

 BTW: one of the original reasons for not keeping the 6.x build system in
 sync was that the 7.x build system absolutely requires GNU make 3.81,
 which wasn't universally available at the time (e.g. MacOSX was still on
 3.79). I don't think that's an issue any more.
