[sclug] Irritating Solaris question

[David Given]

Yeah, yeah, I know it's not a Linux question, but there are people here who 
may know the answer.

I'm trying to build this ancient program (the ACK, which you have heard me go 
on about before). It builds fine on my i386 Linux system. Now I'm trying to 
build it on SF's compile farm, and I'm tackling Sparc Solaris first.

The build process is failing, because it's trying to run lint, and SF haven't 
bought the lint package. However, much to my confusion, the make target in 
question --- lintlib --- isn't referenced anywhere *in the entire source 
package*. So I don't know why it's being called. I can prevent it from doing 
this by preventing the LINT make variable from being defined, and I don't 
know why that works, either.

Does Solaris make have a feature where it automatically tries to lint your 
files if it thinks your makefiles support it, by any chance?
