Details:
I submitted the following to bug-make@gnu.org but didn't hear back. Apologies
if this is a duplicate, as I couldn't figure out how to search outstanding
Make bugs in Savannah.
----------------
A recent change broke use of Perl in Makefiles for me. This is because I have
a PATH element with a directory called 'perl'. Here is how to reproduce it:
$ sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/make-4.2.1-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
...
$ mkdir -p mybin/perl
$ cat Makefile
PATH=mybin:/usr/bin/
all:
which perl
perl -le 'print "HELLO"'
$ make
which perl
/usr/bin/perl
perl -le 'print "HELLO"'
HELLO
$ sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/make-4.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
...
$ make
which perl
/usr/bin/perl
perl -le 'print "HELLO"'
make: perl: Permission denied
make: *** [Makefile:5: all] Error 127
As you can see, the problem occurs with Make 4.3.1 but not 4.2.1.
