Re: fix for make 4.1 on 10.12

Max,
     Actually, the remaining build failure with gcc5 using fink make-4.1-3
on 10.11 may be unique to that package. I reviewed my previous gcc bug
reports and the errors we are seeing on 10.11 with fink make look identical
to those I reported in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63827#c5
which appeared and went latent in gcc trunk. The issue is occurring now in
the libjava build as it did then so we may simply be re-exposing a bug in
the Makefiles for libjava.
     I would go ahead and commit the changes I previously posted on
http://sourceforge.net/p/fink/package-submissions/4562/ so we can start to
accumulate more testing on the completeness of this fix for 10.11 (outside
of the gcc5 libjava build). So far it fixes the libcurl4 and r-base32
builds here with fink make on 10.11.
                Jack
