Hi Janet,

This is a bit weird. The only build that fails is the Linux 64-bit
build, the Jenkins 32-bit Linux and all the Windows builds succeeded,
but my 64-bit build on Tux also fails.

Here are the lines related to the actual build failure:

The "Installing..." line above copied the src/std/softIoc/RULES file
over $(TOP)/configure/RULES thus making it re-enter the O.linux-x86_64
build directory and re-read the file.

The problem is the new vpath line:

vpath %$(SUBST_SUFFIX) $(USR_VPATH) $(SRC_DIRS) $(COMMON_DIR)

I tried moving the definition of the SUBST_SUFFIX variable to above that
and a subsequent build on Tux then succeeded. I don't think that order
is a problem though, to make use of the ability to override the suffix
the variable must be set in the user's Makefile before their line
    include $(TOP)/configure/RULES

The interesting (but probably somewhat academic) question is why it only
failed on the 64-bit build. GNUmake on both Tux and Jenkins is version
3.81, but the same version is used on Uranus which runs the linux32
build slave. On Cygwin we have GNU Make 4.0, and the Windows builds are
run with our GNUWin32 Make version which is also 3.81. Maybe that's not
relevant then.

I'll leave you to commit the change to move the variable. Please add a
short paragraph to the documentation/RELEASE_NOTES.html file in the same
commit that explains what's new and how to override the file suffix.

Thanks,

- Andrew
