John,

I wasn't able to figure out what was wrong with the changer-src
Makefile, however I was able to get around it.

My fix is rather unorthadox and not recommended and I have no idea
what I might have broken or what now failed to compile so if you
follow this bit of 'programming' you take your chances.

The affected (aflicted?) section of code as diplayed via
# cat -evt, because Makefiles are touchy about white-space

uninstall-am: uninstall-info-am uninstall-libexecPROGRAMS \$
^Iuninstall-libexecSCRIPTS$
$
.PHONY: GTAGS all all-am check check-am clean clean-generic \$
^Iclean-libexecPROGRAMS clean-libtool distclean distclean-compile \$
^Idistclean-depend distclean-generic distclean-libtool \$
^Idistclean-tags distdir dvi dvi-am info info-am install \$
^Iinstall-am install-data install-data-am install-exec \$
^Iinstall-exec-am install-info install-info-am \$
^Iinstall-libexecPROGRAMS install-libexecSCRIPTS install-man \$
^Iinstall-strip installcheck installcheck-am installdirs \$
^Imaintainer-clean maintainer-clean-generic mostlyclean \$
^Imostlyclean-compile mostlyclean-generic mostlyclean-libtool \$
^Itags uninstall uninstall-am uninstall-info-am \$
^Iuninstall-libexecPROGRAMS uninstall-libexecSCRIPTS$
$
^I^I^Ichg-null$

I was unable to figure out what was wrong with this code, specifically
the error seemed to be on the line ending "distclean-compile \$"

...so I deleted the entire section ie the ".PHONY:" tag down to the
next white line.

Like I said, I don't know what I broke along the way, make run from
the root ran to completion though.
