A buggy Makefile was just an example of bug which does not always happen. Just because a bug does not always happen does not mean it is not a bug. But you closed this one as if the error that was reported could only happen in a parallel universe, not in this one. Is there any particular reason why GCC may not have a bug which does not always happen? Thanks.
