Did anybody encountered this (and would know how to overcome it) ? (I am certainly doing silly somewhere.... but WHERE ?)
Nothing silly on your side at all.
The symptoms look familiar. I think we've seen this before and a fix was to use GNU make instead of the system-supplied one. (The recursive Makefiles may make it necessary to set $MAKE i.e.
MAKE=gmake gmake
on Bourne shell systems and whatever it takes to get the same effect in csh).
My memory feels a little rusty on this, you may want to look back into the mailing list archives.
I think this is because the system make thinks it needs to set the working directory. This only seems to occur with that specific version of make, as far as I know ...
