Details:
Hello,
When i build (under linux) make-4.2.90 without --disable-posix-spawn (and not
--disable-pthread-spawn, a typo in NEWS), the PATH variable (set in the
Makefile) is not honored. This is new compared to make-4.2.1.
For example:
% cp /bin/true /tmp/truetrue
% cat Makefile
PATH:=/tmp:/usr/bin
all:; truetrue
%
When make-4.2.90 is build with --enable-posix-spawn (the default), return code
is 2 and i get:
% make
truetrue
make: *** [Makefile;2: target] Error 127
%
When make-4.2.90 is build with --disable-posix-spawn, i get the
correct result (and return code is 0):
% make
truetrue
