I guess this has only ever been tried with gnu make; using "gmake" instead of "make" on the SF compile farm works for me.
Exactly.
Instead, I *think* it might be a little bit more portable to change PLUGINS_O:=$(PLUGINS_O) ... into PLUGINS_O += ...
Cool! Can anyone find a reference that this might be portable? Or more generally, what might be portable across different make's? This is the hardest GNU-ism I know of in these makefiles. If += is portable, then let's switch! We should probably kill *all* instances of ":=" as long as we can keep the speed reasonable.

PS -- still, being forced to use GNU make wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
