Yes. That patch works - almost (one more similar change). I had
made the same makefile changes (except your lex change is cleaner)
and successfully built outside the source directory using the
SunOS4.1.4 vendor version of make - a rather crusty old "make"
I largely abandoned maybe 10 years ago in favour of GNU make
because of extensive problems building random packages.
I was just finishing up a few more build tests on my old slow
sparc5 before I opened my mouth and suggested any more changes.
Sorry about mucking up portability. I was being lazy, didn't dig,
and simply asked to revert to something from nmh-1.0.4 which
"worked for me", an attitude I usually frown on when observed in others.
But there is one more reference in RC2 which needs to be fixed:

ie you just run configure from whatever directory you want to build in.
Thanks. Given that, I think the correct patch is the one below. I've
made the change for lex. Hopefully that doesn't break on any other
system. Interestingly, Solaris 10's make appears to be able to insert the
correct source directory automatically, presumably taking it from VPATH.
