OOPS -- just noticed the above after filling-in a reply.
Hmmm.  Look, I'll shoot this back to the group, just in
case someone has a sudden "ah-ha"; then I'll have to
merge these n-posts, and shoot *that* off to the pretest-people.

Thanks for having a look at this!

No, not windows, but sparc: sunblade 100.  Weird...  Here's a piece of
the ./configure-created Makefile (I use "|" instead of ">"):

But there is one, and here's the mostlyclean part of it ("src/Makefile"):

 | intervals.o: intervals.c buffer.h $(INTERVAL_SRC) keyboard.h puresize.h 
$(config_h)
 | composite.o: composite.c buffer.h  charset.h $(INTERVAL_SRC) $(config_h)
 | sunfns.o: sunfns.c buffer.h window.h dispextern.h $(config_h)
 | ${libsrc}emacstool${EXEEXT}: ${libsrc}emacstool.c
 |      cd ${libsrc}; ${MAKE} ${MFLAGS} emacstool${EXEEXT}
 | bootstrapclean:
 |      rm -f bootstrap-emacs${EXEEXT}
 | mostlyclean:
 |      rm -f temacs${EXEEXT} prefix-args${EXEEXT} core *.core \#* *.o 
libXMenu11.a liblw.a
 |      rm -f ../etc/DOC
 |      rm -f bootstrap-emacs${EXEEXT}
 | clean: mostlyclean
 |      rm -f emacs-*${EXEEXT} emacs${EXEEXT}
 | distclean: clean
 |      rm -f epaths.h config.h Makefile Makefile.c config.stamp stamp-oldxmenu 
../etc/DOC-*
 |      mv ./.gdbinit ./.gdbinit.save
 |      if test -f "${srcdir}/.gdbinit"; then rm -f ./.gdbinit.save;    else mv 
./.gdbinit.save ./.gdbinit; fi



In fact, at least these Makefiles got created on the day
I did the .configure:



This from the top-level Makefile:

 | SUBDIR = lib-src src
 | 
 | # The makefiles of the directories in $SUBDIR.
 | SUBDIR_MAKEFILES = lib-src/Makefile man/Makefile lispref/Makefile 
lispintro/Makefile src/Makefile oldXMenu/Makefile lwlib/Makefile leim/Makefile
 | 
 | # Subdirectories to install, and where they'll go.





And this from doing (as dired "!"-cmd (the "# *" to fool "!")):

 |   ls -lsAt lib-src/Makefile man/Makefile lispref/Makefile lispintro/Makefile 
src/Makefile oldXMenu/Makefile lwlib/Makefile leim/Makefile  # *
