Package: make Version: 3.80-9 Severity: normal When recursing into a sub-make, GNU make will automaticaly add the -w flag to its MAKEFLAGS variable. Since MAKEFLAGS is standard and required by POSIX, all other make implementations support it. But -w is a GNU extension.
So when you try to run a non-GNU make after recursion, you typicaly see this sort of error: make: don't know how to make w. Stop (This is with freebsd-make or pmake. An "invalid option" message would make more sense but, in any case, it takes a while to figure out what happens) I think GNU make should reserve MAKEFLAGS only for POSIX flags and add GNU extensions to a separate variable (e.g. GMAKEFLAGS). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: kfreebsd-i386 (i386) Kernel: GNU/kFreeBSD 5.3-2 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages make depends on: ii libc0.1 2.3-1+kbsd.8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
