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