Re: OSF or Tru64 or "Digital UNIX" make problems: #: Such file or directory does not exist. (ITS#811)

Nevermind.  Turns out I am using gnu make and diff.  Still, I would not
change the OpenLDAP build to use gmake or gdiff.  I would instead add
a note to the hints under OSF to use gnu versions of 'make' and 'diff'.
It's fairly common to build these into /usr/local/bin.  All is required
then to have everything work is to make sure /usr/local/bin in before /bin
and /usr/bin in $PATH.
