I thought a replied to this a week ago, but it somehow didn't make it,
so here we go again.

Yes, I have had several responses from people at various non-Berkeley
installations, system V and others, that have makedep running without
problems.

The sprintf mentioned is an old fossil bug that went undetected at our
4.2bsd, because the third %s only copied an empty string.

The correct line should read:

	sprintf(s, "makenorm %s `pwd` %s | ", norm, srcs);

When porting makedep to system V, it is also useful to have
	-Dindex=strchr -Drindex=strrchr
in ones CFLAGS when running make.
