I'm sorry but top level Imakefile is clean !

Maybe is there a sunos guru to help ?

Try to remove this one

Here's my section :
all::
        @for flag in ${MAKEFLAGS} ''; do \
        case "$$flag" in *=*) ;; *[ik]*) set +e;; esac; done; \
        for i in $(SUBDIRS) ;\
        do \
        echo "making" all "in $(CURRENT_DIR)/$$i..."; \
        $(MAKE) -C $$i $(MFLAGS) $(PARALLELMFLAGS) 'CDEBUGFLAGS=$(CDEBUGFLAGS)' all; \
        done
