Please read the DJGPP FAQ list (available as faq102.zip from the same 
place you get DJGPP).  It explains in section 10.10 that GRX was 
developed with Borland's Make program and uses some of its non-standard 
directives which cause GNU Make to puke.  The FAQ goes out of its way in 
that it even provides a list of those non-standard directives and what 
GNU Make extensions can be used instead of them.  It's a pity people 
don't read this.

Also, Henk Spaan <hspaan AT swi DOT psy DOT uva DOT nl> has uploaded a Makefile for GRX 
converted to GNU Make syntax to the DJ's ftp server:

	ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/contrib/grx103mk.zip

You can try using it, if you need to recompile GRX.
