The problem you have is probably caused by the fact that a bug
related to dirent was solved in libc 5.2.18. Unfortunately, your
make is compiled using a workaround for this bug. The result is
that your make doesn't see a Makefile.
Try "make -f Makefile" and make will read the Makefile, but it will
then complain about the first source file.

Get a new make generated _without_ the workaround.
You can find it on:
