I’ve just found what I think may be a very minor bug in the documentation.
I’ve read yesterday the GNU coding standards, and found the next line:



from GNU Coding standards: at the end of 6.1 (GNU Manuals):

<<

Please do not use the term “*illegal*” to refer to erroneous input to a
computer program.

Please use “*invalid*” for this, and reserve the term “*illegal*” for
activities prohibited by law.

>>



But then I was reading the GNU Make manual, and found this line:



from GNU Make manual: 3.6 (Overriding Part of Another Makefile):

<<

However, it is *illegal* for two makefiles to give different recipes for the

same target.

>>



Hope this tiny little thing is useful…
