The symbol '>' is commonly used in mathematics to mean "is (strictly)
greater than". It is also commonly used in un*x (and un*x-derived)
shells to override the default destination for a command's standard
output stream.

GNU make does no special processing of the '>' character, except that
on certain non-un*x operating systems it attempts to emulate the
un*x-shell behavior.
