 Good call, Anton: I don't define $UNAME in /etc/make, but I do have it 
 set in my shell startup scripts-- unsetting it is a valid workaround to 
 the bug.
 
 That being said, I've been setting $UNAME to `uname -s` for about 
 fifteen years for reasons which continue to be valid to me.  
 ./configure should unset $UNAME if it can't deal with that being set to 
 a reasonable value, or at least issue a warning.
