First, there is no portable option to diff that ignores whitespace. Many versions of UNIX diff don't have such options, and GNU diff isn't a requirement for being able to build and test GNU make. Second, -w isn't what you want anyway because that ignores all white space, so that "foobar" is the same as "foo bar". I don't think that's correct. -b is better: it means that "foo bar" is the same as "foo bar". Third, it's quite possible that some of the tests rely on being able to distinguish whitespace. And finally, there's no _reason_ why you should have to do this. There should be no whitespace differences in the output. jg> I compiled the gnumake.exe using build_w32.bat with the latest CVS jg> source code.
