Update of bug #31762 (project make):
Status: None => Not A Bug
Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #1:
This is not a bug. There is no "-silent" flag to GNU make. When you say
"-silent" you are really saying "-s -i -l -e -n -t", all of which just happen
to be legal options to GNU make so make does not fail... and which enables -i
as you observed.
If you want silent operation you can either use the single-letter form of the
option, "-s", or else use the full-word form, "--silent" (note the
double-dashes).
The POSIX standard rules for options do not allow single-dash prefixed,
full-word options. All options beginning with a single dash must be
considered to be a grouping of single-letter options.
