that was with NO '-j' flag

if I go into /usr/src/bin/ls and try to make it manually it bombs as well:

# make

Stop in /usr/src/bin/ls.


so I looked at this closly. if I remove the " -DCOLORLS  " from the 
make file...it will build.

In addition, if we copy these files in /usr/src/bin/ls to /tmp, it 
will build fine...so then I looked at all the CFLAGS and tested with 
and without each one...

-Wwrite-strings = causes the build to fail.

I dont know what any of this means...so hopefully someone can tell me 
more based on this finding.
