Hi.

Concerning Xfc: There's a line (234) which calls "${MAKE} clean all". It
seems as if the makefile of Xfc isn't prepared for cleaning up so
replace "${MAKE} clean all" with "{$MAKE} all". If this doesn't work try
removing "all" as well. Normally, building should succeed without both.

Hope this helps.
