Update of bug #31360 (project make):
Status: None => Not A Bug
Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #1:
This is not a Linux issue or a make issue. The POSIX standard, and every UNIX
system I'm aware of, requires that the root directory (like all other
directories) have a ".." entry and that "/../." is identical to "/.". On
every UNIX-based system that has ever existed if you "cd /" then "cd .." this
does not fail, you're still in the root directory.
Similarly, running "cat /../../../foo" will cat out the file "/foo", not
fail.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your report, make is simply behaving like every
other UNIX/POSIX utility and this is the correct behavior.
