run_make_tests.pl unconditionally reads config.status from a specific location. If gmake is built out of source this reading fails. The patch then looks for config.status in the -make_path directory. This will help if you have config.status in the -make_path directory. If you don't have config.status in -make_path directory this won't help and won't hurt. If you don't have config.status in -make_path directory it will behave the same as today. regards, Dmitry _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
