_______________________________________________________
Details:
The bug is triggered by extra-long target-specific variable assignments
containing at least one semicolon.
The bug is this: on a target-specific variable, if the assignment of the
variable contains a semicolon(s) and is over 150 characters in length, then
the assignment is truncated at the first semicolon or an error is thrown (this
occurs with line continuation slashes as well).
Test makefile attached.
bash $ gmake -f test.makefile a
test.makefile:1: *** Malformed target-specific variable definition. Stop.
bash-4.1$ gmake --version
GNU Make 3.82
Remove one 'e' or a semicolon from the above and it suddenly works.
Patch to fix this issue attached.
