Follow-up Comment #26, bug #48643 (project make): The reason to include a flag for option #4 is that users may have newer versions of GNU make (installed on their distros) but not be able to modify all the makefiles they are using to address their problems (older software downloaded from somewhere... or they just can't fix it for Reasons(tm)).
However I don't want to do 3 or 4 immediately: I'd prefer to give some time for people to address issues. I'll do a build of a collection of F/OSS I have here with a version of GNU make with #2 installed and see what I get. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48643> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
