Here are the results:

      echo "Creating gssapi.h" ;  h=gss$$; rm -f $h;  (echo "/* This is the
gssapi_krb5.h prologue. */";  echo "\" ;  echo "/* End of gssapi_krb5.h
prologue. */";  cat ./gssapi_krb5.hin )> $h &&  (set -x; mv -f $h
gssapi_krb5.h) ; e=$?; rm -f $h; exit $e

The problem seems to be that an earlier line in the makefile reads:

      include_stdint=\#include <stdint.h>

And the statement:

      echo "$include_stdint"

is turning into:

      echo "\"

For some reason, the # is being treated as the start of a comment even
though the \ character precedes it.  Unfortunately, my knowledge of make is
limited, so I'll have to leave it to others to determine the source of the
problem.  If there is other information you need from me, I'll be glad to
provide it.
