I'll have to think about this; it seems like a lot of change for something that very few people have ever asked for. Also, there are at least two ways to share variable values with other instances of make that I don't think have the issue you're having: one is to pass the value via the command line instead of through the environment (where you can use $(value ...)) and the other is to put it into a makefile that is included by the different instances of make. What do you think about those? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
