Still, if I have a makefile that breaks if the suffix rules/variables are present, it would be nice to have a better solution than either making the users remember to pass -rR or putting magic in the makefile to reexecute make with those options. And certainly the behavior should be documented. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?20501> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
