Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I tried to compile (wery old) xview/openlook project which is
"controlled" by Imakefile.

The **imake** did it's job then some **Makefile**s was generated.

When running **make** I got following error message:

```

gcc: warning: LinuxMachineDefines: linker input file unused because
linking not done
gcc: error: LinuxMachineDefines: linker input file not found: No such
file or directory
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1214: ol_button.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/david/RaD/source/xview/lib/libolgx'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1166: all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/david/RaD/source/xview/lib'
make: *** [Makefile:1190: all] Error 2

```

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I checked files for presence of string LinuxMachineDefines and I found
them in linux.cf. I realized that structure of defines in linux.cf and
Imake.cf is not obvious for me.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

N/A

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Generated Makefiles, with no artifacts like this.


With Regards David D.
