No one has reported that it doesn't, but I'm not sure if anyone has tried in a while.

Not really. I don't believe it will (again, barring bugs--and I'm not aware of any right now), but I've not done any real measurements. All the major internal structures of GNU make use open hash tables, so adding lots of targets, etc. should not result in a significant slowdown. As far as I'm aware, for example, there are no lookups or anything that are O(n) or worse. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
