Hi! As discussed in a different thread, the docs claim that GNUMAKEFLAGS and MAKEFLAGS are treated in the same way.
All else equal, since I'm using GNU-specific flags, I think I should be using GNUMAKEFLAGS. However, Paul said that I should use MAKEFLAGS, because GNUMAKEFLAGS is not special when passing -R and/or -r. Should make(1) be patched to actually treat GNUMAKEFLAGS the same as MAKEFLAGS? Or maybe should the docs be fixed to say that GNUMAKEFLAGS doesn't have the special properties that MAKEFLAGS has? Cheers, Alex -- <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
