[colug-432] [re]building procps

[Rick Troth]

Holy smoke ... that did it.  THANKS.

All releases of PROCPS that I have seen do not use the ./configure
trick (which is usually generated by 'autoconf' and friends).  So I
guess it's less surprising that it would be sensitive to some details
in the rules processor.

I often think that I should do Gentoo or LFS instead of this home-brew
hack.  But I'm closer to the source this way, and the re-build is
*really* fast when it works (and yet allows me to do one piece at a
time if needed).  I get by with a little help from my friends.
