+- Apparently, GNU make's builtin variable .LIBPATTERNS is misconfigured
+ under MacOS: It does not include lib%.dylib.
+ This affects build of (at least) gdb-7.1
+ Put 'lib%.a lib%.so lib%.dylib' as .LIBPATTERNS into your environment
+ before executing ct-ng build.
+ See http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Libraries_002fSearch.html
+ as an explanation.
