Well, I just checked the gnu make manual (section 5.6.3) and, if I understand it correctly, it says that using $(MFLAGS) is now useless thanks to the $(MAKEFLAGS) variable... Is there something wrong with my inderstanding of this manual? Or is this a gnu-only feature, that we should not depend on? Regards, Nicolas
