Howdy...

I made a sandbox backed to ptliteos, and have been doing builds against 
that pool.  Something very strange just happened, and I do not know how
to fix it.  Any help you can provide will be most appreciated.

It was necessary to modify one of the makefiles to correct a build problem.
When I did a "build" after modifying the Makefile, it appears that the 
Makefile changes are being completely and totally ignored.  Putting blatantly
wrong and illegal things in the Makefile has no effect.

I have another sandbox backed to steel.  Making identical changes to the Makefile
in that sandbox has the desired effect - that is, the Makefile is processed and
the changes I made occur.

How can it be that the local Makefile in a sandbox is being ignored?  How do I
make ODE read the Makefile?

I'm confused about this as I've never seen this happen in 4+ years of being
afflicted with ODE :-).

Please help!  :-)
