(Also submitted as BugID 7606)
(Platform: QNX 6.2.0)
* When a "test" command is a shell builtin, and
* no /bin/test as a file is provided in the system,
all:
test
will fail with "make: test: Command not found" .
You could easily reproduce this by setting PATH to bogus path, as
$ PATH=/nosuchdir /usr/gnu/bin/make
POSIX says the line should be processed like system("test")
which will be execvp("/bin/sh","-c","test") which will succeed,
but GNU make tries to optimize avoiding /bin/sh,
which tries execvp("test") and fails.
GNU automake uses this bare "test" in several testsuite.
Suggested patch:
Just add "test" to the shell builtin table in job.c .
This shouldn't hurt platforms which has/needs explicit /bin/test.
