Hi, Mark.

OK, I see.  I didn't know that EPICS was supposed to build w/ only
"make" and "perl".  In that case, the for loop command for the target to
build stream.dbd is clearly intended to be run by a Bourne shell and
thus will not work if that shell is not present.  So the make target is
broken.  It needs to be changed to use perl to do the for loop (or maybe
there's some way to do it w/ GNU make built-in commands).
