To avoid clutter. There are probably still too many of these messages anyway, as discussed before.

We just avoid additional enter/leave messages with nothing in between. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
