[Bug bootstrap/16837] New: "make bootstrap" forgets which make to use

["scott dot bailey at eds dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

I have GNU make as /usr/local/bin/make, and the native Tru64 5.1B make 
in /usr/bin/make. If I do this:

# PATH=/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin; export PATH
# which make
/usr/local/bin/make
# make bootstrap

Then the compiler will get built (all stages), and then the bootstrap dies 
with a bizarre Makefile error at the point where it is starting to build the 
libraries. I hypothesize that at some point things are getting confused and 
the native (wrong) 'make' utility gets invoked. Typing instead:

# /usr/local/bin/make bootstrap

allows the entire build (compilers and libraries) to complete successfully.

I had not observed this behavior with any previous gcc builds (up through 
3.3.3).
