I tried this and it failed with the same missing '(' errors.  So I just
copied the critical directories from a snapshot CD and then everything
re-compiled perfectly from today's CURRENT/DEVELOPMENT sources.

The good news is that this was *not* a 'make' bug!  (I had you
worried for a minute, though  ;o)
