Thanks for this new version and all the effort you put into this software. You may remember my problem with make (3.80, 3.81beta1) on Solaris 10 which I have reported on Dec 5th, 2004. On a simple Makefile like this it dumps core: fubar: /bin/echo hello I've tested this on Solaris 10 3/05 (official release) on various SPARC, Intel and AMD systems. Solaris 10 doesn't seem to be very popular, but since /usr/sfw/bin/gmake (version 3.80) on Solaris shows the same behaviour, I couldn't believe that Sun ships a non-working gmake, and so I did further investigation. Now, I've found out that the environment variable "LC_CTYPE" seems to have a big influence. If LC_CTYPE is unset or set to "C" or "POSIX", it works perfectly fine. But if LC_CTYPE is set to "iso_8859_1", then make crashes. LC_CTYPE=iso_8859_1 /usr/local/src/make-3.81beta2/make Abort - core dumped This can be reproduced on a freshly installed Solaris 10 3/05 logged in as root without any special environment or startup files. Of course, this might not be a bug in "make" itself but in some Solaris library, but I use Solaris 10 a lot and didn't notice such behaviour for any other program. I don't know if setting LC_CTYPE is still necessary nowadays. I have this in my environment since years to get working 8-bit characters (like German umlauts). It might not be necessary any longer, and at first sight I couldn't see any difference any longer. However, software shouldn't dump core just because of a valid environment variable. ;-) If you don't have access to a Solaris 10 system and want me anything to do, please let me know. I'd be happy to help.
