RTFM, wrong universe. This facility does not exist in the 4.3BSD make(1), only
the System V make(1). (Actually, there are some broken stubs in 4.3BSD make(1)
for manipulating libraries, but they don't work as you'd like them to. SunOS
4.0 uses the System V make.) 

You can either compile your code in the att universe: 

	att make

or you can run the System V make in the ucb universe:

	ucb /.attbin/make

Note, this type of question is pretty straight-forward, and is much better
mailed to pyramid!bugs (RTOC) rather than being posted to the whole USENET.
