I can't explain this nor reproduce it. On my system no matter what version of GNU make I test with, all the way back to 3.77, I get the same, expected behavior: the variable is not exported. It should never be the case that the variable is exported, because "INSTALL-TOUCH" is not a valid shell variable (which consist of "_" and alphanumeric characters only and cannot start with a number). GNU make does not export variables that are not valid shell variables. I can't explain why it seems to work for you in Jessie. It doesn't work for me in GNU make 4.0 (built on my system from original source). _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
