We used a script that provides the environment variables, the same
script was used to build Subversion 1.4.x and 1.5.0 without issues on
the development box. But since we lost the entire disk where we had
all our scripts and source code we had to take a copy of the install
script from production modify it to reference the 1.5.5 source and run
it on the development box. ( the script works just fine on the
production box i.e no make issues for 1.4.6 ).

So I suppoer we need to re-visit this install script to see what might
cause this particular make error. ( NOTE we do not have gmake
available on any of our systems )

thanks for your feedback
