Hi Andy,
	I will pitch in a bit before others get to this.  I am new to EPICS
(and everything else related) so I might talk about something completely
irrelavent.  I did saw this error when trying to install the synApp package
after successfully (or I thought) installing the base.  I pretty much did
the same thing for base installation as you did and got the 'multiple target
patterns'.
	I googled a little and found that someone said the problem is the
':' in the path.  Sorry I forgot where did I found that but it seems to me
that the information in the thread are not so consistent.  Someone else
suggested using the 'relative path' to get rid of things like 'C:\', but
that did not work for me either (I tried format like ../.., ..\\.., etc).
Later I found another post saying GNU make 3.81 drop the support of 'C:\'
format.  I am not sure if this is the case.  But if it is 3.81 problem,
going back to 3.80 should be one solultion.  I did not tried that--I
switched to CGWIN shell and put all paths linux way.   
	Someone please correct me if I am talking nonsense here. :-)
