Package: make Version: 4.1-9 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
running the attached Makefile will hang the process, if multiple jobs are used then the process wont respond to a TERM and has to be killed. The very same issue is observed with make-guile. I believe this to not be an upstream bug, since I observed this only a couple weeks ago after an upgrade. Unfortunatly I can`t pinpoint a date or version. Kind Regards, Norbert cat >Makefile <<'EOF' # run with # # rm -rf subdir # make -O >/dev/null # # add -j2, then you can' t even terminate it FILE := a b all: $(addprefix subdir/,$(FILE)) $(addprefix subdir/,$(FILE)): echo "$@" mkdir -p $(dir $@); touch $@ EOF -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (200, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, armhf, arm64 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages make depends on: ii libc6 2.24-9 make recommends no packages.
