This is the dumbest thing. The makefile couldn't be simpler:
$ cat makefile
hello: hello.c
gcc -o hello hello.c
When I run this, I get:
$ make
gcc -o hello hello.c
make: *** [hello] Error 255
If I do a dry run and pass the output to the shell it works just fine:
$ make -n > dryrun
$ sh dryrun (no errors)
I tried changing the line terminators in the makefile from CR/LF to LF.
The SHELL environment variable points to a valid sh.
"which sh" finds the same shell.
I tried the --unix and --win32 switches.
The output of make -d ends with:
Must remake target `hello'.
gcc -o hello hello.c
Putting child 0x1002c7f0 (hello) PID 444 on the chain.
Live child 0x1002c7f0 (hello) PID 444
Got a SIGCHLD; 1 unreaped children.
Reaping losing child 0x1002c7f0 PID 444
make: *** [hello] Error 255
Removing child 0x1002c7f0 PID 444 from chain.
WTF is going on??
