gcc-ia16 build failed today: gnumake.mak:9: strings.mak: No such file or directory

This commit was downloaded by my automatic build script: 5dccb0b

The mak.sh script used is this:

./build.sh clean
./build.sh gcc

This is the tail end of the mak script output:

../utilsc/critstrs.exe english
CRITSTRS: load file DEFAULT.err
CRITSTRS: load file english
CRITSTRS: Running validation check
CRITSTRS: Dumping CRITER strings resource
------------------------------------------------------
fixstrs.exe (DOS version) is not build because
ia16-elf-gcc does not support the compact memory model
------------------------------------------------------
gnumake.mak:9: strings.mak: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'strings.mak'.  Stop.

Hi @ecm-pushbx , there's been quite some shuffling between directories of makefiles etc. I wonder if you still have an old gnumake.mak hanging around confusing things. Try find . -iname GNUmake\* after ./clean.sh and see if any were missed. Other than that I don't know as it works for me here (not helpful I know!)

Thanks, I ended up removing all git ignored files and that fixed it. There were several gnumake.mak files within the subdirectories.

Seems it wasn't these files specifically, as the working build and the broken build both contain exactly the same contents:
