The support for using %att seems broken.

Any comments Andreas?

Out of interest could you edit out the '@'s from the Makefile
so we can see the actual command that has the problem.

Thanks.

Yes, Andreas actually fixed it today (Dec 11).

The problem was that MM-5.12 was not the architecture dependant
chain of directories. For example, in the case of my DB2 extention
MM would build ./blib ./blib/DBD but not anything starting with
./blib/aix.....

As I said earlier, Andreas fixed it in what should become MM-5.13.
