Hi.
The checkins on October 24 have introduced failures when running the
test suite. The 'features/patspecific_vars' tests bombs out with make
generating a signal 11 error. I'm running Linux on i586-pc-linux-gnu
under an up-to-date Debian unstable distro.
A build with debugging symbols shows that the program fails in read.c on
line 2132 in record_files() at
deps->need_2nd_expansion = second_expansion;
Argument deps is NULL, so things go boom.
Here's the GDB output:
$ gdb make tests/core
... stuff ...
#0 record_files (filenames=Variable "filenames" is not available.) at
read.c:2132
2132 deps->need_2nd_expansion = second_expansion;
(gdb) p deps
$1 = (struct dep *) 0x0
(gdb) bt
