This was already fixed as part of SV 64571. make.1 says: To print the built-in data base only, use "make -p -f/dev/null". make Info says: To print the data base without trying to remake any files, use 'make -qp'. To print the data base of predefined rules and variables, use 'make -p -f/dev/null'. > Also they should mention how to print the database in non-jumbled > order. There is no way to print the database in a "non-jumbled" order; make's internal database is stored in a hash table and so all ordering that existed in the makefiles is lost when the makefiles are parsed. The output from --print-directory generates its content in hash table order. -- Paul D.
