mysql 4.1 on freebsd 4.8

[Ray Watts]

I have been trying to install mysql 4.1.10a on freebsd 4.8 but I get
the following error:

SuffFindDeps (pre-fetch)

      No known suffix on pre-fetch. Using .NULL suffix

not adding suffix rules

pre-fetch:@ = pre-fetch

pre-fetch:* = pre-fetch

Examining pre-fetch...non-existent...non-existent and no
sources...out-of-date.

pre-fetch:? =

pre-fetch:> =

echo ""

/bin/echo: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

*** Error code 2



How to repeat:
make distclean
make


Any ideas how to fix?

thanks,
