Thanks Dmitry. I guessed at this issue during testing: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2019-08/msg00063.html I have a different solution in mind that doesn't require using configure tests and won't have issues with cross-compilation: I'm just handling the 127 exit code and generating the appropriate error message directly. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
