         - A src/unix/Makefile is provided to create osdepend.a library

Ok, what it is doing is creating an object library of all the OS 
specific modules, and somewhere make is choking on it.

excecvp corresponds to the way that a (fork();exec()) pair would be 
implemented to have start off a child process.

As close to what I can determine, make tried to start the shell in a 
child process and it failed because either a directory or a file was not 
  found.  sh is where it is supposed to be.

Unfortunately the error message in this version of make or shell does 
not identify what it was looking for that it did not find.  I can turn 
on the operating system's extremely verbose diagnostics to see if that 
will tell me.

Thanks,
