I've never seen this before.  I suspect your version of make isn't happy
with how we're defining paths to various files; it should be finding
them where they are without your having to manually copy them.  Not to
be preachy, but several people have reported that GNU make works better
for some things.  If that isn't an option (here's my serious
suggestion), try copying source/unix/* to source (but still run make
newxwin in source/unix).  Let me know how it goes.

If anyone has any other insights, let me know.
