To whom it may concern:
I believe I have found a bug in the sequencing of dependencies resulting
from include statements: the following self-contained makefile builds
file "b" with $^ empty, whereas - in my opionion - it should have been
"a".
Regards,
Erik Boasson.
## Makefile
all: a b ; cat $^ > $@
clean: ; rm -f all a a.d b b.mk b.d
include a.d b.d
include b.mk
b.mk: a ; echo "b: $^" > $@
b: ; echo "$^" > $@
%.d: % ; echo "$@: $<" > $@
a: ; echo "$@" > $@
## The usual system details:
