I'd be really interested to know whether the current latest release of GNU make (3.82) has this problem or not. If not I'll need to go dig up the SRPM for that version of GNU make from Red Hat and find out what patches they've installed. > > That's the issue, things used to work reliably.

The directory caching stuff predates my involvement with GNU make, so it's at least 15 years old. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
