Is this a bug in make or a bug in sjg's make library? Given the various past issues with that library it wouldn't surprise me if it were the latter. btw, much as in pkgsrc it's desirable for build systems to inherit CFLAGS and LDFLAGS and whatnot from the environment, in general when shipping software you should *always* set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (and CC and so on) explicitly and *never* rely on what make gives you by default, because historically Unix vendors have routinely shipped make with broken defaults. (likewise, never rely on builtin pattern rules, etc.) -- David A. Holland dholl...@netbsd.org
