Summary: make -f Makefile.pre.in boot fails in RedHat 7.0

Details: Running 

make -f Makefile.pre.in boot

on RedHat 7.0 creates a broken Makefile

If you manually add:

CCC=g++

to Makefile.pre.in

All is well.

I do not have the depth of experience with python/make/sed/etc. to determine a more proper fix.

Sorry.

Comment:
Could you explain in what way the resulting Makefile is broken?

What are you trying to do with the Makefile?

I suspect this is a case of trying to do something that Makefile.pre.in was siply not designed to do.

I would recommend looking into distutils for building extensions, instead of messing with Makefile.pre.in.

I'll close this bug report unless I hear from you again in a week.
