I looked at all the setting in XCode prefs (many) and cannot find anything relevant. Do I really need to reinstall Xcode and hope there is some configuration setting? It's 2.5 GB!

If this package isn't installed, then /usr/bin/make won't exist, and you won't be able to build the lisp kernel.  I would have expected this package to be installed by default, but perhaps it isn't.

Matthew, you were right:  "which make" produced nothing. Some /usr/bin stuff must have been stripped out when moving to a new machine via the Mac migration manager. I did not have the disk handy. Had to download things again.
