We will just set them to be close-on-exec, except the dup'd versions for stdout/stderr. I'm pretty sure we already do that in some situations. We really don't want them inherited by sub-makes and other jobs anyway: that would be bad. Some commands don't like it. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
