 Hi Steve!

If you take a look
at /u00/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/network/lib/ins_net_client.mk, you can see the following:
(if [ "$(GENNT)" = "compile" ] ; then \

	  $(ORACLE_HOME)/bin/gennttab > ntcontab.c ;\
	  $(CC) $(CFLAGS_SHIP) -c ntcontab.c ;\
	  rm -f $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/ntcontab.o ;\
	  mv ntcontab.o $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib ;\
          $(AR) rv $(LIBNET) $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/$@ ; fi)
	(if [ "$(GENNT)" = "assemble" ] ; then \
                           ^^^^^^^^^^

	  $(ORACLE_HOME)/bin/gennttab > ntcontab.s ;\
	  $(AS) $(ASFLAGS_SHIP) ntcontab.o ntcontab.s ;\
	  rm -f $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/ntcontab.o ;\
	  mv ntcontab.o $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib ;\
          $(AR) rv $(LIBNET) $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/$@ ; fi)

Of course, there is only ntcontab.s in /u00/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/network/lib !! So should be GENNT = assemble in /u00/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/network/lib/env_network.mk
