Hi,
[Please retain the CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This was reported by a debian user
Please look at the following Makefile:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> cat -n bug.mak
1 VAR = value;
2 all:
3 echo 1
4 echo 2
5 echo $(VAR}
It contains a typo ('}' instead of ')' in line 5)
Now running make on it:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> LANG=C make -f bug.mak
bug.mak:3: *** unterminated variable reference. Stop.
You see, the line number reported in the first line of command block,
not line number where the error is.
I faced this when a typo was somewhere in a 100-line command block,
that was full of variable references. It was not easy to find where
the problem was.
