Follow-up Comment #2, bug #38420 (project make): Let me guess, you're working on Solaris? And probably using an NFS-mounted filesystem? See, for example:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-make/2006-04/msg00023.html However, you're right that we should be doing a better job of error handling in these situations: currently we simply assume that if the function doesn't succeed for any reason, the file doesn't exist. In other places we have a macro EINTRLOOP we use to handle this. I'll look into using that here as well. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?38420> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
