This looks good.

It looks like the Makefile is lacking some lines, specifically the
"suffix list".  Are you running GNU make, or a different version? 

To figure what's happening, I need to see the configure output files and
whatever Makefiles you've got.  Ideally you can send me old, working
ones as well as new, non-working ones so I can compare, contrast, and
find what's different and wrong.  Commands like the following should
provide what I want:

cd bogofilter-old ; tar zcvf old.1210.tgz config* `find . -name
"Makefile*"'
cd bogofilter-new ; tar zcvf new.1210.tgz config* `find . -name
"Makefile*"'

The generated makefiles are pretty large, which makes debugging them
difficult for most everyone.  Given working and non-working versions, I
can use gtkdiff to view them and find the differences.  That info, some
knowledge, and some luck should get us where we want to go ;-)

Anyhow, create the tarballs and email them direct to me.

Cheers!
