Hi Greg, et al.,
  The above error was do to the line continuation backslashes. Installed gmake, took out the backslashes and, presto, it "just works". On FBSD, that is.
  In my little project, I was using getpass(), but have changed to readpassphrase(). Great, but on Linux that's in /usr/include/bsd. So I added to my main source file:

#ifdef BSD
    #include <readpassphrase.h>
#endif

#ifdef LINUX
    #include <bsd/readpassphrase.h>
#endif

And as I say, no problem on FBSD.

  To try it on Linux, I fired up my GitPod Ubuntu/Debian instance and found that I had to install the libbsd0 and libbsd-dev packages first. However, when I first compiled, GCC complained:
undefined reference to `readpassphrase'
Oops! I added `-l:libbsd.a` to the linker arguments and it compiles fine under Linux now.

ifeq ($(UNAME),FreeBSD)
        CFLAGS += -DBSD
else ifeq ($(UNAME),Linux)
        CFLAGS += -DLINUX
        LDFLAGS += -l:libbsd.a
endif

  Unfortunatly, the program segfaults when I run it! Works fine on FBSD. Well, I've got something "constructive" to do today!

Thanks again everyone,
