Perhaps the space in front of "--jobserver-fds" in MAKEFLAGS (make-3.82),
together with the do-nothing "-" target are already there to satisfy the
POSIX standard: just put the space back and that's it?
In the mean time i discovered a few minor documentation bugs:
- in doc/main.texi:
- in the 'Options Summary' section, list the new '-O' before '-p'
- replace "The end of of this paragraph" with "The end of this
paragraph"
- in variable.c:
- replace "but the the rest of the chain" with "but the rest of the
chain"
- in readme.vms:
- replace "That deletes the them" with "That deletes them"
