It looks like the value of .SHELLSTATUS is not always set correctly when the $(shell ...) command is terminated by a signal.
Here's a Makefile which demonstrates this behavior: STDOUT := $(shell kill -s SEGV $$$$) $(info status=$(.SHELLSTATUS) stdout="$(STDOUT)") $(error Stop) I ran this Makefile on Debian 8 Linux using gmake 4.2.1 and got the following output: $ gmake status=0 stdout=" " Makefile:3: *** Stop. Stop. I would have expected behavior similar to what happens when a recipe is interrupted by a signal, where gmake receives a non-zero exit value from the recipe. Is this the expected behavior of .SHELLSTATUS in this use case? Thanks! Troy Runkel
