   Hmm, notice that gprof/Makefile.am says:

----
# This empty rule is a hack against gmake patched by Apple.
%.o:%.m

.m.c:
        awk -f $(srcdir)/gen-c-prog.awk > ./$*.c \
            FUNCTION=`(echo $*|sed -e 's,.*/,,g' -e 's/_bl//')`_blurb \
            FILE=$*.m $(srcdir)/$*.m
----

   It looks like the hack doesn't work. If you don't need gprof, deleting
combined/gprof is probably the easiest way around that problem.
