I've finally got round to trying this. I'm having a problem which
maybe has a simple known solution.

What I have done so far:

1) Built and deployed the shared library as detailed above
2) Applied the diff with patch <diff-name
3) cd chc-6.10.4
4) ./configure
5) make

Make immediately fails with:

"./mk/boilerplate.mk", line 41: Need an operator
"./mk/boilerplate.mk", line 44: Need an operator
"./mk/config.mk", line 29: Need an operator

Error expanding embedded variable.

I'm not exactly familiar with makefile syntax, so I could see anything
that rang alarm bells. Line 41 looks like:

ifneq "$(way)" ""
