Hi Igor Yes i'm using -4 I can't figure out how to get to an older version to see if this localizes the problem, hints ? I prefer not to have to add workarounds, this problem is visible in the department buildtools, a rather large set of hundreds of make scripts, luckily must users haven't upgraded yet. If someone else could confirm it would help with making a bit more formal bugreport if someone is intrested.
