confusing language in manual re GNUMAKEFLAGS

2024-03-05 Thread DSB
I think this little nit should be cleared up. In one place the manual says: ... after parsing GNUMAKEFLAGS GNU make sets this variable to the empty string ... But in another place it says: GNU make never sets this variable itself. The meaning is clear (to me) but the language is not well formed
