I meant the difference between one ATT Makefile and another.

Since applying those diffs has no direct effect on the binaries built by
our source tree anyway (even if we kept the ATT Makefiles), someone is
going to need to manually make the corresponding changes to ON's Makefiles
(if changes are even appropriate).

Let's ignore the ATT Makefiles for a while. Are there other files
you'd like to see removed? A list based on Roland's annotated list
would be nice.
