So far, two machines have reported an older make version:
dawn_bat
narwhal
both of the mingw type. Andrew, Dave, could you see about upgrading the
GNU make installation there?
There are a few machines that haven't build in five days or more, but
based on their operating system version, it is fairly safe to assume
that they have an up-to-date version.
