This seems to be because we have both: perl6: and PERL6 = $(CUR_DIR)/perl6$(EXE) $(PERL6) : compilers $(PBC_TO_EXE) ... So on windows, I'm guessing that both perl6 and perl6.exe work as targets with no warnings, but on unixy platforms, we get the warning. I would vote for requiring "perl6.exe" as the make target on windows, which is how it's done in languages/perl6.
