This should tell you something -- something is going on in your .bashrc file on your Digital Unix account. I would expect everything to work if you eliminate your .bashrc file. Then you could do a divide-and-conquer (bisection search) to determine what might be the culprit. If you have the opportunity, another test would be to try your makefile from within another account that had no rc files for any shells, other than setting up paths. Also, try using printf or /usr/bin/echo instead of the shell's built-in echo command.
